It was announced today that The Libertines are set to reform for the Reading and Leeds festival and although I, like most indie rock fans are very excited, i have a feeling the 'likely lads' may crash and burn, and that's even if they show up.
For many of the young crowd that will be in front of the main stage in august it will be the first time they've seen the libs, a band they have heard so much about and a band that inspired a large majority of the NME scene bands that will also be playing that weekend.
Unfortunately though i think the crowd may be disappointed, Pete and Carl's careers have both stuttered since the end of the Libertines and we all know the main reason for the comeback is the money. Which is a reported £1.5million, So when they take to the stage on 27th of august are they really going to be there for the music? I don't think so, which ultimately will result in a lacklustre performance and the most iconic band of the decade crushing their reputation even more.
