The National Lose Instruments; Cold War Kids + Andrew Bird To The Rescue!

Uncut is reporting that at this weekend's Latitude Festival in Suffolk, The National lost all of their equipment on their way to the camp grounds. Yikes.

Here's more: *Visibly slightly uncomfortable with the situation, vocalist Matt Berninger, paused between songs to repeat how sorry they were for not having their kit on stage.

Thankfully, Cold War Kids and Andrew Bird, both playing the main stage [as well], stepped in to lend the quintet all the of the instruments they needed.*

Muse Headlines MSG (With Cold War Kids) This August

Wow. Surely both bands' biggest US show to date.

I never thought I'd see the day where Muse would perform to 17,000 fans this side of the Atlantic. Kudos, guys! The show will go down August 6th for those of you anxious to throw it onto your Google calendars as soon as humanly possible.

Full list of North American tour dates to come. For now, try to snag a pair of tix for the MSG show (not on sale yet) over at The Tripwire.
