The Libertines return to the scene of their triumphant reunion at the 2010 Reading Festival to headline the Main Stage shortly before the release of their much anticipated third album Anthems for Doomed Youth.

The band formed in London in 1997 by frontmen Carl Bar芒t (vocals/guitar) and Pete Doherty (vocals/guitar). The band, centred on the songwriting partnership of Bar芒t and Doherty, had their line up completed by John Hassall on bass and Gary Powell on drums. They gained some notoriety in the early 2000s and although their mainstream success was initially limited their profile soon grew and, in December 2004, their self-titled second album went to No 1 and was voted the second best album of the year by NME magazine. But tensions within the band grew and the band split soon afterwards and the greatest rock 'n' roll story of a generation has been waiting for a new chapter ever since.
