It's only a small venue (for a headline sized act) though right? I think headlining IOW is gonna have more of a say in whether they do R+L than that.

True but they've since had a number one album (potentially two I can't remember the dates), headlined Glastonbury, played Victoria Park and had an arena tour pretty much sell out within a day. They're just as big as draw as pretty much all the headliners they've had, bar The Stones.

I don't think R&L would have them back so soon, even with a new album. It's needlessly repetitive when there are a whole bunch of acts they could book who would serve the same audience and didn't headline three years ago.

Good points but it still means BST getting Kasabian over V or IOW, which may as well mean V and IOW didn't bother trying to get them.

If i told you I knew The Libertines are 100% are at Glastonbury what would you all say?

Did a friends uncle's mate has a cousin who knows someone at the pub who has a sister who has a mate who has a cousin twice removed who works with someone who has a mum that knows someone at the local Tesco that works for Glastonbury festival in the site management department tell you?

They wouldn't headline glastonbury, so if you're right (which i'm very skeptical about) they've probably accepted a lower slot than reading would give them.

How do you figure they wouldn't headline Glastonbury/would headline R+L? I imagine, if true, they weren't offered R+L headline in the first place and were able to do lower slots. And if they were headlining at one and subbing at the other it'd be Glastonbury where they topped the bill.

Quite plausible anyway. Cheers for bringing it to our attention Liam.

    • Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.

    • Also agree, it does feel that there isn’t much between the Mercury Prize and the Brit Awards these days.   This part sums it up for me “The complaint isn’t so much about the quality of the music, but more the disappearance of spaces for outsider voices in British music. With streaming algorithms feeling increasingly geared towards big names, and social media acting as a minefield, the Mercury’s pivot to the mainstream closes another door in the face of creative independence.”
