==Background==
The planning of two Teignmouth concerts was first revealed by locals newspapers the ''Teignmouth Post'' and ''[[Torquay Herald Express|Herald Express]]'' on 7 and 8 August 2009.
It was rumoured that the concert's promoters, SJM Concerts Ltd., had applied to [[Teignbridge District Council]] for permission to hold the concerts at The Den, though it was recognised that there were concerns.<ref name="devon">{{cite news |url=http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Resort-prepares-ticket-rush-Muse-plan-gigs/story-11423045-detail/story.html |title=Muse plans homecoming gigs |
A council meeting was held on the morning of 17 August in [[Newton Abbot]] to decide whether the shows would go ahead. Muse bassist [[Christopher Wolstenholme]] attended the meeting and urged fans to show their support.<ref>{{cite web |url=

In an interview with music website [[Drowned in Sound]], drummer [[Dominic Howard]] explained that "Playing in Teignmouth is going to be amazing, we're all really looking forward to it," adding "It's honestly something we've always wanted to do since the day that I met Matt [Bellamy] at The Den. It's not a park, it's just like a big piece of grass. That's where I met Matt for the first time. I remember even in those early days talking to Matt and saying things like 'wouldn't [''[[sic]]''] be great to play a proper gig on here with shitloads of people!"<ref name="dis">{{cite news |url=http://www.muselive.com/index.php?m=single&id=5115 |title=Muse Discuss Teignmouth Gig |publisher=Muselive (originally published by [[Drowned in Sound]]) |date=1 September 2009 |accessdate=2 September 2009 }}</ref> Howard also revealed that support acts would be local bands, including [[Hey Molly]], with whom bassist Wolstenholme is "quite friendly,"<ref name="dis"/> [[The Quails]] and "two more local bands."<ref name="dis"/> ▼
