The Libertines are back...

[JAnderson]

.. according to this Daily Star article published half an hour ago.

No mention of R/L but surely it makes it more likely.

It's looking more and more possible by the day that the Libs will indeed play.

Surely got to be a SR now?

Its looking more a bit more likely now

I literally cannot wait if it turns out to be true, one of the bands I was brought up on. GNR looking extremly likely as well with this news (Tho i'm nt bothered about that).

[Dan R]

It just seems to be a photo of them together?

I don;t particularly wanna see them but it does seem more likely now

[thomasowen]

I would just worry they would never turn up. If they did headlin it would be a dilema as to whether go on thier day or the blink day - would rest on the other acts I suppose.

[Vieuphoria]

Ahh great news. Lets hope it's definatly on and not just speculation

[Matticus]

jesus, this festival is headlined by the ywo biggest waste of space front men the world has ever seen.

so the daily star reports it and it's true? I wouldn't wipe my arse with the daily star

[eFestivals]

this is the same paper that a couple of weeks ago was saying Green Day were a R/L headliner this year, and most people were saying "the Daily Star doesn't get these things wrong".

But this time they might be right, who knows?

[eFestivals]

I think someone knows they've got the headliners wrong this year?

Nope, I don't know. It's possible tho.

But if that photo is from the last day or two and they've only just 'made up', then it seems unlikely they'd be booked for R/L.

[Porcelina]

There's a difference between 'making up' and making up publicly though, look how long in advance we knew that blink were going to reform, it just took a while for it to become official.

The promise of money can do crazy things to junkies.

[Timmah]

Nobody's got a better source than the Daily Star?

I know it's likely, what with rumours and the fact that Carl and Pete have probably run out of money but I wouldn't get excited on the back of a red-top's "told you so" report.

[lharris92]

Ah, I've not been paying so much attention to Green Day or Reading tbf. How have Green Day got ruled out anyway?

[evilduck]

XFM just said that apparently the Libertines are set to officially announce their reunion and comeback album next week. No source or a printed article I'm afraid, but it's adding to the pile of rumours.

[olly!olly!olly!]

Im going to see what odds i can find for them to headline. Looking very likely

[Vieuphoria]

Yes =]

[eFestivals]

if it's really happening, then it's weird that there's remote and seemingly unconnected (to the band) sources that seem to know all about it, while every angle I try that should bring at least a hint only gets a blank.

While it's not impossible (tho very highly unusual) for things to get tied down that tightly, it doesn't explain how come those unconnected places have info.

[Role Model]

this is certainly proving to be a strange old year.
