The Libertines at O2 Academy Leeds: Indie heroes reveal UK tour supporting new album - how to get tickets

Less than 24 hours after a sweaty sold-out gig at the Wardrobe, the London-based indie titans revealed they are returning to Leeds this autumn as part of a massive UK and Ireland tour.

Celebrating the release of their first album in nine years, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, Pete Doherty, Carl Barât, John Hassall and Gary Powell will kick off their tour in Dublin before hitting a number of venues across the UK including Manchester's Albert Hall and Leeds' O2 Academy.

The Libertines made a name for themselves in the early 2000s for their ramshackle live shows, unique garage rock-inspired indie sound and, outside music, primary songwriters' Doherty and Barât's chaotic relationship fuelled by Doherty's issues with substance abuse.

Their original run saw the release of albums Up the Brackets (2002) and The Libertines (2004) - both considered indie staples and spawning iconic anthems such as Don't Look Back Into the Sun and Time for Heroes.

The new album, out on March 29, is the second album since their reunion in 2014, following 2015's Anthems for a Doomed Youth.
