libertines to headline 2010?

[EmmaComber]

I've heard rumors that it might just happen! Libertines have said they will play festivals next year and were offered £2 million to play this year, do you think it could happen? I think that would just be the best headliner they could ever possibly get!

[nicho]

Personally, I hope not.

[theramm]

They deserve to play but not to headline, it would easily go down as one of the weakest headliners in recent years. The sycophants & NME faithful who have Doherty's cock jammed in their cheek would be ecstatic but the other 99.9% of the audience would be underwhelmed beyond belief.

It's difficult to judge where they'd fit on the bill. At TITP, they could headline the NME stage I'd think, as it's outdoors and probably big enough. As for Leeds though, they'd need to be on the main stage and I'm not sure they should be below anybody else.

[tolywoly]

I'd like to see them on the bill, not as headliners though.

[Trani on 10]

I'd like to see either The Libertines, The Strokes or Aerosmith headline next year, although i think all 3 are pretty unlikely.

[rexclark]

If they're available they'll play. Whether they headline or not is a matter of money, the money they want to play and the money Festival Republic are willing to pay for a headliner.

looks like it could be a fantastic year for reunion headliners next year with libs and blink! it will go down as a great year. :angry:

[Grimmy]

Libertines get rumoured for every festival. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Twisted_Panda]

i really hope this f**king happens, would be amazing

[rexclark]

I think there's more chance of Barat playing solo TBH.

[jordanuk90]

I doubt this will be happening especially with who people are talking about headlining

[Kyelo]

Weak headliner if this is true.

[jordanuk90]

Was a rumour on Efest's for a total of 42 seconds before they found out their source on this was a liar

[musiclovesryan]

I think the libertines are ok...I wouldn't be totally upset lol!

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Id think id get a day ticket for this

[Tommo2202]

surely its not the weakest headliner, its better than Razorlight a few years ago.

[rexclark]

surely its not the weakest headliner, its better than Razorlight a few years ago.

[olly!olly!olly!]

Obviously its not happening this year but I think they would make a great NME headliner.

Putting them against someone big like Greenday would work well

[craig-g]

can still see them added, not as main stage headliner but maybe radio one tent headliner.

[benserene]

libertines is a very likely headliner as Pete Doherty has given hints for a while to do reading and Leeds

plus they have offered a lot of money for them to play

and there is going to have to be at least 1 headliner

also the guy who said that libertines are headlining first has predicted the last 2 years of headliners 100% correct and he thinks-

guns&roses

blink 182

the libertines

this this makes it a lot more believable for me, i think they will headline (also green day cant do it because there touring in America the same weekend as Leeds so get that out of your heads)

here's the proof for the Greenday tour so you believe me!
