Glastonbury fans were left blown away as The Libertines took to the stage at the music festival on Sunday, though they had one major complaint.
The band, made up of frontmen Carl Barât and Pete Doherty, performed on the Pyramid stage as the boiling hot sun shone down on Worthy Farm.
Their slot was just ahead of Sir Rod Stewart‘s highly anticipated set on the main stage.
Speaking to the audience, Doherty remarked: ‘I know why some of you have got down the front early, I know what you’re waiting for.’
While their performance was hard to fault, fans watching the action from the iconic festival at home were left fuming over one issue.
Taking to social media, they called out the packed crowd for apparently lacking in energy, saying the rock band ‘deserved better’.

Not holding back, one blasted: ‘The Libertines deserve better than this f****** Rod Stewart crowd.’
A second fumed: ‘Watching The Libertines and I’ve seen livelier crowds at a funeral, not the band’s fault just woeful atmosphere.’
‘This setlist by The Libertines is class and absolutely wasted on this crowd,’ said a third unhappy fan.
Viewers tuning into Glastonbury at home via BBC iPlayer praised The Libertines’ vocals and setlist.
One rock fan said: ‘The Libertines. What a catalogue of absolute bangers man. That hour just flew by.’
‘Extremely jealous of everyone watching Libertines smash the Pyramid Stage right now,’ said another.
Rod Stewart came on stage after the band, though made a very awkward gaffe while introducing Lulu at Glastonbury as he headlined the Pyramid Stage’s Legends slot.
The singer, 80, took to the stage at Worthy Farm performing to a massive crowd where he brought out three surprise guests.

However, Lulu’s entry didn’t go as smoothly as Rod had hoped as he introduced Ronnie Rood followed by Lulu.
He said: ‘Now it gives me really great pleasure to bring on two legends, first of all Ronnie Wood. Here he is put your hands together and the wonderful Lulu…’
As the stage fell silent, Rod looked around awkwardly for Lulu as she didn’t join him on stage.
He then added: ‘Oh yeah, Lulu is coming on next’, causing the crowd to laugh at the mistake.
Rod kicked off his set with his hit Tonight I’m Yours before telling fans how ‘music brings us together, we’re having a party’ and going into Having A Party.

After a rendition of Some Guys Have All The Luck, he stopped to catch his breath and remove his sparkling jacket in the searing heat, telling fans: ‘This is so lovely. I’m so excited I can hardly breathe.’
Dipping into his bag of ballads, he did his version of First Cut Is The Deepest followed by his 1976 track, Tonight’s The Night (Gonna Be Alright).
Celebrities spotted on Worthy Farm on Sunday included Normal People star Paul Mescal, who was spotted packing on the PDA with his girlfriend Gracie Abrams.
Meanwhile, Holly Willoughby was also spotted enjoying the sunshine, with her husband Dan Baldwin.
