The Libertines made a surprise appearance on The Pyramid stage at the prestigious UK festival. Pete Doherty’s band, having never played The Pyramid stage before, walked out at 8.25pm to a stunned and welcoming crowd.
‘It was always something we wanted to do and it lived up to all our expectations – very exciting’ said the group.
They performed a 19-track set featuring 3 new songs from their upcoming album, ‘Gunga Djin’, ‘Anthem For Doomed Youth’ and ‘You’re My Waterloo.’ The band made a quick exit from the festival via helicopter heading straight to Russia tonight to play at the Ahmad Tea Music Festival in Moscow tomorrow.
