Libertines

[Robbie_D]

Expect numerous rumours during the weekend about The Libertines playing somewhere. And thousands of people turning up at random stages, only for it to be someone completely different.

I can put this one to bed.....

My brother is a lawyer for the firm who deal with most of R/L's contractual agreements.

Libertines have a UK exclusivity clause with R/L - Tugger you were 100% correct!

He says the contract allows them 1 other festival appearance outside of the UK - Guessing highest bidder.....

The one glimmer of hope for any Glasto people is that he doesn't think an impromptu appearance on say the Park stage would contradict any terms within the contact as the core element of the contract is around NOT agreeing to playing other festivals and NOT signing contracts with them, but it definitely wouldn't be main stages and definitely won't be advertised.

Expect at least 1 main warm up show - At the Forum, Kentish Town and potential other "pub gigs" detailed on the day they're due to play...

Hope this helps

That really leads me to believe they'll play during Carl's Leftfield slot.

John said it would be Kentish Town in one of the interviews.

I think Carl and Pete will do something together, maybe not including John and Gary though. I dont know about this Reading exclusivity thingy Im sure there will be a Libertines performance of sorts at Glastonbury if you look at Peter and Carls touring schedules.

Peter/Babyshambles have a big Glastonbury sized hole in their list of French shows/festivls their doing and Carl will be on the Leftfield stage. I think they will be doing something together what with their new re-kindled friendship.

My bet is on a secret gig probably, hopefully Peter's manager will give it away on FrenchDogWrittles just before the festival.

This is ofcourse if they havnt all fallen out again by June and hopefully Peter wont have got locked up for the charges he is facing of suplying drugs at the moment. Fingers crossed things go smoothly. I really hope they do play Glastonbury, Im a maaaaasive Libertines fan but have to admit I think theyve lost some credibility playing Reading/Leeds the most commercial festival there is as their comeback. Thye would suit Glasto better.

I will defo be at both park secret shows

and carl's left field

and if Peter or Babyshambles are playing I'll go to that as well

I'm seeing them at Leeds but there's no way I can miss them at Glasto

Just remembered Carl Barat played a small acoustic show at stone circle last year? No relevance just a thought.
