i don't usually go along with Matt's strange theories but that's kind of how i saw it as well (for no particular reason). thought they were nailed on for R/L tbh so it hadn't even crossed my mind that Glastonbury might be an option for them. bit underwhelming if true

edit: ah just noticed he didn't say headlining, although i assumed that's where they'd play

What I mean really is that Glastonbury are very unlikely to have a major festival headliner in a lower slot at the festival because of the exclusivity and pay and what not, and it's happened more times that it's the other way round like a V sub or a TITP sub headlining Glastonbury. So I couldn't really see The Libertines being a R+L headliner but not big enough for Glastonbury headliner.

I sort of get the feeling they might have not been offered headline at R+L so they're doing sub/equivalent at both Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds... if this is true of course. We were pretty sure they were doing R+L a week or so ago because of that newspaper article plus they're strongly rumoured on here.

I can't believe he actually used Photobucket

Nothing wrong with it!

Will likely sub Glastonbury than headline I guess, they didn't sell all 3 Ally Pally Dates did they? (Can't remember about BST but I only use not selling that out to slate Taylor Swift =p).

Kind of makes sense Reading would wait to have them , if the album is any good/glastonbury is triumph they become headliners.

    • David Byrne’s obviously got a few hits to play, but he’s not cheesy enough for the Legend Slot. Other headliner perhaps?
    • Too good for the legends slot 
    • We had a really good weekend this year. This was our 2nd year after giving it a go last year with 3 year old twins (we do Glasto but don't take the kids and have no plans to in the distant future!!).   Highlights of the weekend for me was Peter Hook & the Light, English Teacher, Flaming Lips, Adult DVD and Alex James (I get the karaoke thing but I still thought it was great). Missed loads of acts we wanted to see due to having two kids in tow but overall we left happy with what we managed to see across the weekend. Some great food vendors, good to see Steak Frites make an appearance this year, one of my faves from Glasto. Festival is really well run, toilets remained clean and stocked with loo roll all weekend, even on Sunday night/Monday morning. The walk from the cars is a ballache but it is what it is, arriving Thursday evening meant we were parked as far away as you could be.   My only gripe is that there seems to be a trend of parents letting their teenagers camp completely separately to them in family camping. We had a large group of 15-17 year olds near us who came home pissed up every evening at 3-4am being really loud and annoying! I get that it's a festival etc but I think it's taking the piss a bit letting your kids camp separately and disrupt everyone else.   All in all we had a really good time and are looking forward to next year.
    • Haha, was about to say! I'd def put more stock in the exit poll than a sh*t joke on Bluesky. Thanks for panicking me though. 😁
