Pete Doherty will headline The Park Stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The Babyshambles frontman will perform a solo show at the bash, according to NME. It hasn't been confirmed which night Doherty will headline.

Doherty recently announced he would be playing a one-off show at London's Royal Albert Hall on April 26. All 5,500 tickets for the gig sold out in under 30 minutes.
