Don't think I can justify tickets for this one, with Thetford already bought, and two festivals booked in July. Plus I need to consider my age. But looks great. Enjoy, young'uns.

And more news coming in soon

Maybe Hamburg this time.......PLEASE!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow!

Bristol one week, London the next - stopping off in Pilton on the way?

See? Listen to old James. He'll steer you right with zero confidence.

The Plebertines headlining over The Pogues?Surely not,at least some of us won't have to worry about getting the last bus or train home.

Like the Libertines personally. Would have to get last train back to Liverpool. Don't suppose it would end before ten o clock would it?

I think curfew for Hyde Park gigs is 11.00.

Libertines could be great, could be a shambles. I'd be more likely to go if it was them supporting the Pogues rather than the other way round...

I was thinking of going and staying over but I'd only be there for The Pogues. Having said that, some of these festivals can be great because you get to see loads of bands you wouldn't go and see normally. I'm still trying to decide whether to go, it depends on ticket prices and I too would be happier if The Pogues were actually headlining.

Think the Libertines are being a paid good sum to reform hence them headlining. I presume the pogues will play a lengthy set though

I wouldn't bet on it Rich. Have you seen the amount of bands that are playing? They have to fit them all in.

I remember when I saw The Pogues at the London Fleadh some years back, Joe Strummer was support. He only played for about an hour.

Hey don't you think the Pogues should help Scunthorpe celebrate their team's promotion to League One by playing the Scunthorpe pub shows they missed out on last year?

Do we know who's going to be playing guitar for The Pogues gigs this summer? Mr Walbourne's touring with The Rails.

If they're stuck, I'll do it for minimum wage.
