The Libertines announce nine date Christmas tour including Nottingham

The Libertines will return to Nottingham as part of a nine-date Christmas jaunt across the UK.

Peter Doherty, Carl Barât, John Hassall and Gary Powell will be bringing festive cheer to Rock City on December 12.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, June 28.

As well as the UK dates, the band play France, Germany, Luxembourg, Brussels and The Netherlands in October and November.

The band is currently working on a fourth album, the follow-up to 2015's Anthems For Doomed Youth, which reached No. 3 in the UK and spawned the hits Gunga Din, Heart Of The Matter and You’re My Waterloo.

It's been 17 years since their first single, What A Waster.

They are also to open a bar in Margate called The Waste Land, as well as a recording studio, The Albion Rooms.

Doherty recently released a new album Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres and toured the UK and Europe. Barât, meanwhile, played a sold-out tour of the far East.

Tickets will be available from 9am through Seetickets.
