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.

    • Lovely Brexit doc on bbc2 for anyone who wants to relive those golden years.
    • I think some folks are underestimating how many millennials, now into heavier music, were genuinely also into things like techno and happy hardcore in the 90s and early 00s. Scooter may be about is commercialized as it gets when it comes to happy hardcore and techno, but for many, they won't be just a 'silly act' they will be a genuine nostalgia act. 
    • Can anyone share please as can’t access the app 
    • Someone said something along the lines of "the lows were really low but they highs were really high" and I think that sentence sums up my ps experience this year. Thursday was a downer (even though I got to see men I trust, geese, oklou and fcukers), but the weather, the missed shows and the uncertainty (those comms...) made it a bad day. Friday and Saturday on the other hand where rly good, a bunch of amazing shows each day (The Cure one was quite something), that surprise on Saturday...   Will be back next year, hope they get another impressive lineup as this year (quality and quantity wise) and that tickets and  primarily hotels don't get much more expensive.
    • Rosalia Radiohead NIN MGMT Bjork David Byrne   Also Vince Staples' new album is cool. I could see him returning.
