The Libertines to play but will they be announced today

[mike99]

It seems they are going to be billed as special guests so that could mean they wont be announced today?

[kibble]

Ofc they will, they're a massive draw.

I think they'll be announced as "Plus very special guests The Libertines" as opposed to just "special guests", as a means to feed the egos of the band by saying "you're not headliners, but you're very important"

Nice to see you back on form mike99... how many threads is that now?

[eFestivals]

6music have just suggested that they'll be announced tonight.

They have to be announced today because Peter + Carl are on the front cover of NME on Tue/Wed with their first exclusive reunion interview.

I couldn't give a f**k if you were going, son.

Stop abusing Mike99. The lad cares about the festival, granted sometimes he makes really crap threads but he doesnt deserve abuse seeing as he answered the question.

according to nme tonight they will be announcing the headliners, special guests and first wave of bands so id be pretty certain the libertines will be announced

It seems pretty certain now that The Libs will be playing under the title of 'Special Guests.'

But what if they were special guest headliners ?? As a way of pushing ticket sales by kind of focusing their return as the highlight of the festival.

I know special guests are usually 'bigger' acts playing further down the bill than their egos think they should be.

But i just cant get it into my head that the long anticipated return of The Libs will result in anything less than a headline slot.

This time in 5 hours all will be clear.
