The Klaxons turn down Wembley gig
The Klaxons have revealed that they turned down the opportunity to play a gig at the new Wembley Stadium.

According to Gigwise the relative newcomers were given the chance to support Muse on their upcoming tour but declined, and are now regretting their decision.

Vocalist Jamie Reynolds told MTV: "It was the drummer who asked us. It was quite a drunken night down the pub and I just said, 'Nah'. I don't know why, I didn't mean it.

"I have watched them from when they first started. I first saw them at Glastonbury and for them to say that (about one of our live shows) is a massive complement."

Band member James Righton added: "(He) got the chance to open up Wembley Stadium. Officially the first ever gig at Wembley and Jamie turned it down!

"We haven't turned it down officially and we're trying to sort it out. Please! We would love to play!"
