Pete Doherty will probably be released from prison in time to play the Reading and Leeds Festivals this August

Pete Doherty will probably be released from prison in time to play the Reading and Leeds Festivals this August, according to the official court report of his sentencing.

The Libertines man was sentenced to six months in prison on Friday (May 20) after pleading guilty to cocaine possession, but he has now been given a likely release date of August 21. This would be five days before he is due to headline the Festival Republic stage at Leeds Festival, on August 26. He's set to play Reading Festival two days later.

A Reading And Leeds Festivals spokesperson told NME today (May 23) that they had no comment to make yet about whether they would be holding out to see if the singer ended up being released in time for the events.
