The Libertines

[eFestivals]

Have efest heard anything about libs? Would be the greatest thought I was lucky enough seeing them last year at reading but this would be incredible

Someone has posted in one of the threads here to say they've heard thru a contact of theirs that they've been offered the headline slot on the Other Stage on the Sunday. eFestivals can't confirm the accuracy of that, but we've no reason to doubt it.

As well as that we've had a little info of our own, which suggests that it's quite possible that they'll be playing Glastonbury &/or V Festival.

After watching back their Reading set, i really hope this is true.

Pete Doherty has said they have been offered to play a number of gigs.

Considering they are money-grabbing w*nkers I can see V Festival nabbing them. Glasto in comparison offers peanuts, but apparently Pete is a big fan of the festival and I swear the Libs pulled out one year.

"money grabbing bastards" is a bit over the top don't you think?

If someone said to you "Look you're going to reunite at some point, can I give you this big pile of money and secure you for our event".... Your telling me you would say "No thanks. Those millions don't interest me"

Why are they money grabbing w*nkers exactly? They did 2 gigs last year. If they were money grabbing w*nkers they would have milked the reunion for all it was worth with a full uk tour.

2009. Pete Doherty was booked for a secret set at the Queens Head just a few hours after his set on the other stage - which doesn't really make any sense unless if he was just going to play another solo set. Somehow he didn't quite manage to make it between stages so the set was cancelled just before he was due on. My litterpicking mates saw Carl Barat stumbling about the park quite f**ked and quite pissed off at around 6 the following morning which proves that he was definitely on site as well. So I'm convinced that The Libertines were supposed to have played that year n' all.

Carl goes to Glastonbury every year, whether he's playing or not. So him being seen there doesn't necessarily mean anything regarding The Libs.

Word I had back at that time was that there defo wasn't anything happening.

Fair enough.

Does anybody know why Pete Doherty was booked to play a secret solo set that year though? I still can't get my head around the logic of that.

[Jackmypie]

Haven't checked up here in a while, is there anything new? Are rolling stones ruled out?

Not necessarily. The Libs have always been a bit of a niche act, so (say) if Pulp were the Pyramid headliner at the same time as Libs were on the other, The Libs would draw mostly just their obsessive fans.

The Libs are showing as updated & as a rumour.. has this changed then? was it SR before & now r?
