The Libertines Are Playing the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Tonight!

Festival line-ups are fickle mistresses at the best of times, but when you're dealing with Glastonbury - the biggest music festival in the world - the chances of your artists breaking limbs, getting sick, and generally not being able to show up are even higher. After Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off stage, forcing the Foo Fighters to withdraw from their Friday night headline slot on the Pyramid Stage, Florence + The Machine were bumped up, leaving a whole lot of nothing between Motorhead's slot at at 6.30pm and Florence's start time of 10.15pm. But in a perfect twist of British fate and what is arguably one of the best kept music industry secrets since Beyoncé dropped overnight, it looks like The Libertines will be filling the void on the Pyramid Stage ahead of their headline slot at Ahmad Tea Festival in Russia tomorrow.

If you don't believe us, they just uploaded this photo, taken from a helicopter flying over the British countryside accompanied by the hashtag "glastolibs", to Instagram:

Is that some sort of Tor in the distance? #glastolibs

After a long afternoon of subtle hint-dropping by Emily Eavis, "likely" puns and people tweeting things like "THE FUCKING LIBERTINES" and "SHUT THE FUCK UP" and "I WILL FUCKING LOSE MY SHIT" after one of the stage engineers let an incredibly leading tweet slip (which has since been deleted) listing "Albion" on the schedule, this is basically the final confirmation that The actual Libertines will definitely for reals be playing the Glastonbury at 8:20pm tonight! Viva Albion! etc.

Although this isn't The Libertines' first time at Glastonbury (they played the Other Stage in 2003), the band were booked for the main stage in 2004 but had to pull out and were replaced by Supergrass, so this will be their first time playing the Pyramid Stage. Beautiful.

In other news, Azelia Banks has pulled out of her Saturday slot on the Other Stage and will be replaced by The Strypes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
