The Libertines rumoured for Leeds Festival 2022 after band exits

A former Leeds Festival headliner has teased a Bramham Park return later this month.

On Friday, we brought you news of Rage’s withdrawal from Leeds Fest, and its sister event Reading Festival, following an injury to frontman Zack de la Rocha. Rumours have started to circulate about who might replace them.

The Libertines have teased a potential set at both festivals over the bank holiday weekend. The 2015 headliners posted a very leading message on their Twitter account.

Pete Doherty’s band posted: “Two last minute UK shows to be announced very soon. Where are we heading?”

Lots of people are suggesting they will be appearing at Leeds Festival and Reading Festival. There were two high profile withdrawals last week with Rage Against The Machine’s cancellation and Eurovision stars Måneskin’s exit.

We will, of course, keep you updated of any line up alterations as we near Leeds Festival 2022. Thousands are expected at Leeds Festival 2022, which will be taking place between Friday, 26 August and Sunday, August 28.
