Legendary indie rock band The Libertines played a very intimate show in London last night (31st July) to just 250 fans at Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush, the band played a 16-song setlist brimming with hits; from “Boys In The Band” and “What Katie Did” to “Can’t Stand Me Now” and “Don’t Look Back Into The Sun.”
It was a warm-up show for their huge gig at London’s Gunnersbury Park on Saturday 9th August, the final show of their highly successful world tour and for the foreseeable future – alongside very special guests Supergrass, Soft Play, Hak Baker, Lambrini Girls and Real Farmer. Final tickets for the show are available now via www.ticketmaster.co.uk
They were straight on the tour bus after last nights Bush Hall gig, for more sold out shows in France and Belgium. The Gunnersbury Park show brings to a close The Libertines’ world tour in support of their No.1 album “All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade”, that has seen them sell out shows across the world from Australia – Mexico City, Seoul – France, Germany and now Shepherd’s Bush.
