The Libertines are back where they belong, selling out venues with their timeless classic catalogue of songs drenched in poetry, romance, heartbreak and nostalgia.

They embark on a huge UK tour this coming November/December.With the added influence of VAM (Various Artists Management) who are now formidable front runners in championing artists nationwide and globally, the band are in the perfect setting to remind everyone that they still have an important part to play on the live music circuit.

Much to the disappointment of gutter tabloid scavengers and 90’s baggy critics alike, The Libertines are still comfortably selling out venues nearly twenty years on from their seminal debut, Up The Bracket.

What’s undeniable, even from the most hardened critic, Is that along with their eponymous second album, The Libertines, the songs still stand up and hold a deep sense of warm nostalgia to a lot of people from that early 2000’s riotous culture.

With a new generation of fans growing rapidly and teaming up with an eclectic mix of support acts on their ‘Giddy Up A Ding-Dong Tour’ including Black Honey, Dead Freights, Andrew Cushin, DSM4, Black Bordello and Gabi Garbutt, The Libertines are on course for a resurgence of their former glory.
