Carl Barat Ends The Libertines Festival Rumours

Carl Barat has put an end to rumours that The Libertines will be performing on this year’s festival circuit. It was suggested that the band would once again reunite for a summer festival in 2011, but during an interview yesterday Barat declared that the band will definitely not be performing this year.

The band, fronted by Barat and Pete Doherty, reformed last summer to perform a well-received headline set at the Reading and Leeds festival. Rumours that the band would perform at this year’s Glastonbury Festival were also sparked when NME reported that the band had signed a deal with sponsors Poweramp committing to shows in 2011. However, the band were quick to deny the existence of any such deal.

Speaking to a British newspaper, Barat said: "Getting back together at Reading & Leeds was more than I could ever imagine and made me understand and realise what an impact the band had on a generation.”

He continued: “In time I would be keen to do it again but Pete Doherty and I are busy doing other things. It’s definitely not over between us, we’re just waiting for the right time. The next thing will be something special.”
