Friday other stage opener

[A Guy Called Matt]

Will they tell us when this thread gets to 100 pages?

[marcbyers]

Don't know if this interview has been mentioned:

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/apr/25/libertines-reunite-hyde-park-pete-doherty-carl-barat

"I'm not saying that I'm not open to us doing more shows, that could be a great thing, and who knows how it will feel once we're all back together" he said. "I'd love to play Glastonbury as a warm up but logistically it might be a bit difficult to get all of us there – though we do have a couple of warm up shows planned in different cities."

Hahahaha, chill out

[Gucci Piggy]

Oh It doesn't annoy me, I'm completely chilled. I'm just pointing out how they just haven't thought through their post.

[stuartbert two hats]

there was nothing wrong with his post, he was asking whether Carlos' quotes had been mentioned, completely appropriate.

[CHRLY]

The libertines have reformed?

[The 38 year old virgin]

The libertines have split up?

[Amy Lawn]

Carl Barat and Pete Daugherty have formed a band and called it The Libertines?

[The60ftOctopus]

The Eagles. That's my final punt.

[DTichborne]

Pete Doherty up and doing, on a stage at 11am.

Good luck with that.

I love that it's still gonna be suprise as we just don't know

[rexclark]

Why does everyone assume that because Pete Doherty us a drug addict he also enjoys a lie in? I'm sure the lure of a coffee and a sausage and egg McMuffin may be too much for him.

I'm a bit of a cynic but if prince was to do it, I'm sure he would want to do a surprise gig first

Michael eavis on "did you book prince"

We wanted him to play, and it got to the point where his people were talking to us about him doing it, but before he confirmed he got really upset because he thought we had advertised that he was playing. We hadn't, but with social media, rumours get everywhere, and one of those rumours was that Prince was coming. So he didn't want to do it in the end. All the social media chit-chat now about who might be playing really doesn't help us. People think we've advertised them early, but there'd be no point to us leaking details because the tickets sell out in an hour in October, before the headline acts are announced. People come for what the event means to them, not the headline acts.

[Alcatraz]

Everyone makes the mistake of thinking its a big act, forgetting it was Beady Eye last year

[dimus]

Is it The Mighty, Mighty 100th Page?

[jackarmy]

Has anybody mentioned The Fall?

[rexclark]

I thought it was more to do with the fact he's notoriously unreliable at turning up for shows, and without the lure of a big show/pay cheque/lie in then theres a reasonable chance he might not show.

[marcbyers]

This stigma about Pete is a bit dated.

Can't remember the last time i heard of him cancel a gig

The man who signed The Libertines to Rough Trade, James Endeacott, has been added to the Free University stage lineup not long after the special guests slot.

It's the England football team, in the stocks on stage.

[Bisque]

I didn't realise people got up that early at festivals to go & watch bands. How large a crowd did Beady Eye pull?
