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.

    • some point this week the insta post says
    • I guess we should also not underestimate that the Slowdive sound person is probably not quite used to open-air daytime performances in such a large, open area. 🙂 I imagine it's very different from mixing the sound in a tent. Plus, even though I was openminded about it at first - you never know how things might sound or work out in a different setting if you don't try - I just don't think their sound is very suited for this kind of setting, it really benefits from darkness and a nice light show and all that. Still, nice that they got to give it a try.
    • i agree, was really disappointed by the Slowdive sound (we were fairly close to the podium) also if you consider that for all other main stage acts i saw they got it perfectly right.
    • Thanks man for sharing your thoughts. I would say i generally agree with you and do agree people close to the podium should position themselves further back if they want to have full conversations and apparently are not interested in the music; to fair it is mind boggling these people are even there as chatting gets so much easier in the back field. That said i did not really have the same experience as you, front rows for example at MBV, Men I trust, Big Thief, NewDad, Slowdive, where really into the music.    yes i BBK is really high on our list but we just realized it is next year 25 years of Primavera so perhaps we do one more. 
    • When does the Thursday lineup get announced? I see they had Moonchild Sanelly and Young Knives last year, would be cool to get something along those lines again.
