The Libertines In Line To Play Glastonbury Festival 2011?

February 11, 2011
The Libertines In Line To Play Glastonbury Festival 2011?The Libertines will reform again to play this year's Glastonbury festival, according to reports.

The group, who reformed last year to headline Reading and Leeds festival, will now appear at Glastonbury which runs from June 24-26, reports The Sun.

A source said: "Although there are no signs of new songs, the boys have realised that they can take a nice payday by playing each summer."

They added: "They bagged more than £1million for Reading and Leeds in 2010 and, although they won't get as much for Glasto, it will still be a good earner."

U2 have already been earmarked for to headline on Friday after they were forced to pull out of the same slot last year.

Tickets for this year’s Glastonbury festival have already sold out.
