Libertines to reunite for Glastonbury
Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are reportedly to reunite The Libertines for Glastonbury festival's Acoustic Stage.

Both Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things are playing at the event, but it has now been revealed that the pair will be playing together on the Saturday.

A source told Mirror: "The lads have been talking about it for months.

"Although they've both got their own bands now, neither has had anything like the acclaim The Libertines had.

"The Hackney Empire gig reminded them of how well they used to work together before the band fell apart and they wanted to see if they could recreate that chemistry at Glastonbury.

"The Acoustic Stage will probably have to double the number of security staff it employs to prevent a stampede!

"Pete and Carl are still arguing about what songs they're going to perform - but whatever they settle on, it'll be incredible."
