NEWS: The Libertines' First Show Since Reuniting

August 25 marks the date that The Libertines played their first official show since reuniting in March.

Pete Doherty, Carl Barat, John Hassall and Gary Powell took to the stage at the HMV Forum to the sound of Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again'.

The four-piece kicked off their 21-song set with fan favourite 'Horrorshow'. Other tracks included 'Can't Stand Me Now', 'Death On The Stairs' and a version of 'Up The Bracket' that featured a snippet of 'Radio America' as an intro. Watched by the likes of Amy Winehouse and The Cribs' Ryan Jarman, Doherty and Barat energetically jumped around the stage throughout.

The greatest audience reaction was a result of 'The Good Old Days' and 'What A Waster', both as part of a lengthy encore that tempted fans to jump from higher levels of the auditorium to the ground floor simply to get a better view. Rare tracks including 'The Delaney' and 'Lust Of The Libertines' were also performed.

Although the band kept their set pretty similar to 'rehearsal' gig, they changed the order of the songs they played. Also, its reported that they said little to the audience, though all four members did hug and embrace each other for a few minutes after playing final song 'I Get Along'.

The Libertines are now set to take a break before returning to the stage to play at Leeds Festival on Friday and Reading Festival on Saturday.
