How to watch The Libertines at Glastonbury 2025: Live stream Doherty and Barât for FREE on Sunday
There should always be a place for The Libertines on any festival line-up and this Sunday it is the turn of Glastonbury Festival 2025 as the sultans of sleaze turn up at 2 p.m. in the afternoon to get the day started properly. You can watch The Libertines at Glastonbury live streams from anywhere with a VPN and for FREE. The Libertines' Glastonbury 2025 set takes place on Sunday, June 29.► Start time: 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / Midnight AEDT (Mon.)• FREE STREAM — BBC iPlayer (U.K.)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free This is definitely one of the less thin times because if Pete Doherty and Carl Barât have been together through thick and thin - and Dirty Pretty Things and Babyshambles - the thick part when they finally smash it could be about now. Last year's "All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade" album will get a run out here - and that's a very good thing - but they're not the kind of band to leave without dropping old school hits "What a Waster", "I Get Along" and "Can't Stand Me Now".

Glastonbury 2025: post your questions for Carl Barât and Pete Doherty of the Libertines
Pete Doherty and Carl Barât's relationship has been called 'one of pop's great rollercoaster romances'. They met in the early 2000s in London and forged the Libertines in the fire of squat parties and guerilla gigs across the capital. The band defined the era's guitar music – raw energy, bohemian lyricism, 'the' band names, hats. Their 2002 debut album, Up the Bracket, produced by the Clash's Mick Jones, remains a seminal release of the decade, with bleary-eyed garage-rock hits such as I Get Along, What a Waster, and the title single, which have lit up indie discos ever since. The co-frontmen stuck it out for a few years through thick and thin (thin being Doherty's numerous arrests, drugs busts and that time he broke into Barât's flat). It's a love-hate brotherhood they cemented in the 2004 UK No 2 single Can't Stand Me Now, which came alive when they performed, jostling for the same microphone. Eventually the Libertines disbanded in 2004, with Barât forming Dirty Pretty Things and Doherty focusing on Babyshambles. There have been reunions over the years: the pair attempted to bury the hatchet in 2007 and 2009, and they released 2015 album Anthems for Doomed Youth. But the 2020s have marked a new chapter. The band returned with 2024's All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, which was recorded – completely sober, they say – at the studio they co-founded in Margate, Kent. Now's your chance to ask them everything you've ever wanted to know about being the boys in the band. On Sunday 29 June at 12pm at the Astrolabe theatre, they'll be speaking to music critic Miranda Sawyer with the help of this reader Q&A. Fancy finding out how they view their legacy? What the secret is to their songwriting? Or how they survived those early years? Post your questions in the comments below and the best will be read out onstage. If you're at Glastonbury, come along and see it live, but if you're not we'll publish highlights online afterwards.

Edinburgh festivals: 12 shows to be performed at Traverse Theatre this August
An 'honest, wicked and moving unpicking' of the character of the pantomime dame is among a range of original performances unveiled for this year's festival programme at the Traverse Theatre. Scotland's new writing theatre said it had unveiled a programme that 'reaffirms its unwavering commitment to discovering, developing and showcasing the most vital new voices in theatre'. This year's TravFest, which is comprised of 12 productions, including ten premieres, deals with issues from climate change to radicalisation and loved ones developing dementia. Other themes include global conflict and dysfunctional family dynamics, while also bringing joy, humanity, commonality and humour. Gary McNair's solo fable A Gambler's Guide to Dying returns to the Traverse ten years on from its sell-out, award-winning debut. Another production is Standing In The Shadows of Giants, a world premiere of an autobiographical musical play written and performed by Lucie Barât – sister of The Libertines' frontman and guitarist Carl Barât. Meanwhile, The Beautiful Future is Coming – an 'urgent' new play about the onrushing climate apocalypse - will span 250 years of real and imagined history through the eyes of three couples, from 1850s New York to present-day London. The new play by Karis Kelly, winner of the Women's Prize for Playwriting 2022, entitled Consumed, directed by Katie Posner, receives its world premiere on the Traverse stage this August. 1 .

Rift Inspired by playwright Gabriel Jason Dean's relationship with his own brother, a currently-incarcerated high-level member of the alt-right, RIFT is a story of estrangement, ideological divide, and the fight to change the world. The UK premiere is directed by Ari Laura Kreith and is presented by Luna Stage & Richard Jordan Productions. | Traverse Photo Sales 4 . Red Like Fruit A haunting exploration of complicity, consent, patriarchy and trauma in a post-#MeToo world, Red Like Fruit, brings audiences the latest work of award-winning Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch. This European premiere from 2b theatre company from Halifax Nova Scotia, directed by Christian Barry, sees Luke narrate Lauren's life: her fraying mental health and the unease she feels in the world. | Traverse Photo Sales
