The Libertines offered big money to headline Reading and Leeds says Doherty.
19 March 2009Ex-Libertine and Babyshambles main man Pete Doherty has recently revealed that his former band were offered the opportunity to headline this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals.
In an interview with the NME, Pete said although he was interested in progressing with the reunion, his former cohort Carl Barat wasn’t. Doherty went on to reveal that the offer to headline Reading and Leeds was around £2 million but that Barat’s concerns lay with the lack of a cordial relationship between the he and Doherty following years of very public spats.
