Born in an East London squat in the ’90s before being escalated to international stardom, everyone’s favourite rock’n’roll ragamuffins The Libertines quickly garnered a reputation as the epitome of hedonistic indie rock. Led by notorious duo Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, the band have released four full-length albums since they formed, including 2002’s chaotic era-defining debut Up The Bracket, the 2004 self-titled follow-up, then returning after a 10-year hiatus with 2014’s Anthems for Doomed Youth.

Marking the band’s resurgence in 2024, The Libertines released their fourth studio album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade in April this year. Their first new album in nine years, All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade produced three genius singles – Run, Run, Run, Night Of The Hunter, and Shiver – and delivered The Libertines a second UK Number 1 album, 20 years on from their eponymously titled second album in 2004. Touring in support of this latest release, the band are currently playing a string of sold-out shows across the UK and Ireland.

Australian fans can expect to hear new material alongside the band’s classic hits including Can’t Stand Me Now, Time For Heroes, fan picks What A Waster and Boys In The Band, and of course live favourites The Delaney and May Day.

Tickets go on sale from 10am local time on Monday, September 16. Secret Sounds pre-sales are available from 10am local time on Friday, September 13. For complete tour and ticket information, visit Secret Sounds.
