Pete Doherty To Headline Glastonbury?

Well at least The Park Stage. We already know that Jay-Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve will headline the main Pyramid Stage, but now it looks as like Britain’s resident junkie (male version of Amy Winehouse) will be the big draw on The Park Stage.

According to NME, Doherty will play a solo show on the stage, rather than playing a set with his band Babyshambles.

As much as I dislike the guy, and would pay NOT to see him live, he certainly has the capacity to bring the crowds in, after selling out his recently announced show at the Royal Albert Hall in under 30 minutes. Maybe all 5,500 of the capacity are dealers he owes money to?

Joining Pete on The Park Stage will be new ravers CSS, who have been officially confirmed to be playing.

Tickets for the 2008 Glastonbury festival are due to go on sale on April 6th, and the usual scrum for places is expected both on the Internet and phone lines. The actual 3 day event will take place between June 27th and the 29th at Worthy Farm in Pilton.
