The Aug. 9 performance at Gunnersbury Park marks The Libertines’ final show of a tour that visited the UK, Europe, Mexico, and Australia, and included a performance at Glastonbury Festival 2025.
They’ve been touring in support of their UK number one album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade – the band’s fourth studio album released on April 5, 2024, and their second peak position since their eponymous sophomore album, The Libertines, released in 2004.

Their Aug. 9 homecoming show at Gunnersbury Park in London may be the last opportunity to see The Libertines live for the foreseeable future, according to the press release from Festival Republic, promoter of the Gunnersbury Park concert series.
A comment from Peter Doherty confirms, “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. If not, we’ll see you down the road some time. Love Peter X”
Support on Aug. 9 at Gunnersbury Park is coming from very sepcials guests Supergrass, Soft Play, Hak Baker, Lambrini Girls, and Real Farmer.
The Libertines are represented by Wasserman Music’s James Whitting worldwide excluding North America, where Independent Artist Group’s Mike Hayes is their agent.
