The four-piece are filling in for Florence + The Machine, who were originally scheduled to play the Pyramid Stage tonight.
The 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' hitmakers replaced the Foo Fighters as the Friday headline act following Dave Grohl's leg injury on June 12.
The Libertines have never played the festival's Pyramid Stage before, having pulled out of their 2004 slot due to Pete Doherty's struggles with addiction.
Fans are hopeful that the band may unveil some tracks from their upcoming - and as yet untitled - third album during the 8.20pm-9.30pm set.
