The Libertines announce festival warm up The Libertines have announced a warm up show for their appearance at the Reading and Leeds festivals this summer.

Pete Doherty and the gang – famed for hits including What A Waster, Can’t Stand Me Now and Time For Heroes – are set to take to the stage at London’s HMV Forum in Kentish Town on August 25th.

Fans will be given the chance to buy tickets on a ballot basis by signing up to thelibertines.com before 18:00 BST on August 13th.

The group will then perform at Leeds Festival on Friday August 27th and Reading Festival on Saturday August 28th.

People may wish to celebrate the return of the act by picking up a new music T-shirt from the range available at 8ball.co.uk before heading out to catch them live.

Doherty fans could go for a design bearing his image, which is available in a range of colours to suit a variety of tastes.  ADNFCR-2904-ID-800019589-ADNFCR
