[mrlibertinedream]

Same, I am ridiculously excited for this!

Actually so happy this is happening, as I wasn't expecting to ever get to see them, haha

Same here. I'm just going for The Libertines as I really want to see them!

[The Placid Casual]

Same here! I hope that I'll get tickets but I'm sure I'll be fine

From what I looked at I'll have to get a 4 hour and 40 minuet coach to get back Sheffield (it is cheaper than the train though and the national express station is near Hyde Park)! Will be worth it though!

Also Franz would be nice actually! So I'd be great to see them there and The Cribs (so I can see Funeral For A Friend at Tramlines)

Neil has mentioned in the Glastonbury board that Libertines to be announced tomorrow along with 6 support acts

[eFestivals]

I haven't seen any names in this thread that will be the supports.

In your opinion Neil... strong supports?

I couldn't give you a meaningful opinion.

To me they're all pish, and i can't believe anyone would be interested in them, but that applies to a massive number of acts in the world including the main act for this show.

Neil, do you have an idea of the ticket price? Looking at the BST page the 4 gigs announced vary from £40 - £75

[mike46]

As for support, I'd imagine the likes of the View, Cribs, Miles Kane etc.

[justanothername]

That almost 5 hour journey sounds a bitch, but I'd be going even if I lived in Orkney, haha! Luckily, my family's trip down south finishes that day, so I'll be down there anyway, which is incredibly fortunate

no idea, sorry.

I'd guess it would be at the bottom end of that tho - it's not mega acts in support.

It must be The Others dragging themselves out again

[eFestivals]

surprised there's no big names supporting, not reckoning this will sell out very quick then!

there's no big names supporting, or alternatively there's no big sellers supporting.

Except there might be, but it's a bit off-beat for what you'd expect so I'm not sure it'll have the desired effect (tho I can see what they're trying to do).

Overall it's hard to guess at how it might sell because it's trying to appeal to two different crowds where I don't think there's much cross-over between them. If both sides of that crowd buy into it then it'll sell pretty well, but if both don't it could well be disastrous.

[Createur]

Lily Allen?

[mrtourette]

Prince?

[eFestivals]

Prince?

Nope.

The Libs are the band they've gone for because they weren't prepared to work to the timetable that Prince wants to work by (acceptance of the show about 6 weeks before, if at all).

[Stuart1000]

Lily Allen?
