Not a bad consolation prize for those who missed out on Stockton tickets.

I should be able to hear them from the back garden

 

[changingman]

Wow, didn't see that one coming. Anyone know the capacity?

Presumably it's on the roof of the Stray Cafe?

 

[afcb_acklam]

wot could possibly go wrong!

 

[1finny]

Unbelievable Jeff
Lemon Tops all round

 

[NYboro]

From the back of a truck like Edgar Broughton?

 

[parmoboy]

Did you see the stylish kids in the Frigate?

I'd go in the house and shut the windows.

Will be interesting to see if they'll go with local bands as support, or more established bands.

I bet Benefits get asked. Pete's a big fan.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Yeah, that's a good shout actually.

I saw them about twenty times back in the day. Cherry Jam, Rhythm Factory, Cockpit etc. Saw Babyshambles several times too including their first ever gig at The Troubadour.

However, this leaves me cold. For me, The Libertines were about a time and a place. It doesn’t make sense to me seeing them in my/their forties.

They're releasing a new album next year, so I'd imagine this gig will coincide with the promotional tour.

I understand where you're coming from however you've got to remember there will be a new generation of Libs fans who won't have had the opportunity to see them live.

I saw them in 2017 at the Scarborough Spa and they were brilliant. They've still got it, however the Scarborough Spa is a fairly small venue, which might have been why it felt like such a good gig.

I hope they've checked the tide time

Up to you but just sometimes seeing a band can take you back to those special times.

Their latest single, released today.

Quite like it. Sounds like something off the Grace/Wastelands album.

 

[1finny]

Yes - like it too
