The Libertines Set for Intimate West London Show Ahead of Grand Finale

One final toast before the curtain drops. As their globe-spanning tour winds to an end, The Libertines are pulling one last surprise from the hat: a one-off, intimate club show at a secret venue in West London on Thursday 31st July.

Limited to just 250 fans, the special warm-up gig leads into the band’s massive farewell blowout at Gunnersbury Park on 9th August. Tickets for the secret set are priced at £22.50 and will be released on a first-come, first-served basis — fans eager to attend can sign up online for their chance. Fans can sign up here

Fresh from sold-out stops in Australia, Mexico City, Seoul, France, Germany, and Shepherd’s Bush, The Libertines are wrapping up a tour in support of their acclaimed chart-topping album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade. Following their London appearance, they’ll hit the road again for sold-out dates in France and Belgium.

Gunnersbury Finale: A Historic Homecoming

The final show at Gunnersbury Park promises to be a landmark moment in the band’s two-decade journey. With a stacked support bill featuring Supergrass, Soft Play, Hak Baker, Lambrini Girls, and Real Farmer, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable send-off.

Frontman Peter Doherty reflected on the road ahead:

“We are going to take a break, live life a little for a bit and enjoy some time in the wilderness communing with nature, and see where the muse takes us. Hopefully you can make it to the final night of the tour at Gunnersbury Park. It’s gonna be historic.”

Critical Acclaim Follows Every Stop

The band’s recent performances have drawn praise from across the board:

  • The Times: “One of the best British indie rock bands.”
  • The Guardian: “They are the greatest British rock band of the last 25 years.”
  • NME: “One of the highlights of Glastonbury weekend.”
  • The Sun: “It feels like The Libertines have only just got started.”
  • Louder Than War: “Firmly established as the nation’s second-most favourite band after Oasis.”

Comprising Peter Doherty, Carl Barât, John Hassall, and Gary Powell, The Libertines have left their mark with four studio albums: Up The Bracket (2002), The Libertines (2004), Anthems For Doomed Youth (2015), and this year’s All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade.
