Brilliant ruin of a man Pete Doherty and his band of sharply dressed enablers are coming out to Australia in July (if he makes it through Customs) and we couldn’t be more excited if it were The Libertines themselves.

They’ve got a brand new, long awaited album in the works, which they’ll be premiering here before they event kick off their September UK tour! So if you’re a fan of Doherty and his addled, messy, literary ways, then put 9am this Thursday May 30 in your phone, because that’s when tickets go on sale for Babyshambles Splendour sideshows, happening Sunday July 28 at the Enmore.
