We all have been eager for weeks to find out the line up for this year’s Reading Festival and even though rumours have been going on for quite a while now I’m sure no one actually thought – not even in our most secret dirty dreams – that there would be just the slightest chance that the Libertines will be ACTUALLY playing Reading and Leeds. Well, we have all been proved wrong because the Libertines are back!
The band confirmed that they will be playing their first full gigs as a band since the 2004 split. They will be playing in Leeds on the Friday (August 27) of the festival, before headliner Arcade Fire and will then perform at Reading on the Saturday (August 28).
While I’m still mourning over the fact that I cannot afford the £180 for the weekend ticket plus flight and bus transfer I’m sure others are already rubbing their hands with excitement for another reason… I’m actually really curious to know how much money ‘fans’ will cash in with their ticket sale on Ebay…
