The Libertines‘ summer is getting busier by the day.
With numerous festival appearances being announced at the moment, the band have now become part of the Wirral Live series and will play at the 16,500 capacity Prenton Park, home of Tranmere Rovers, on May 20th.
They’re joined by The Coral and Reverend & The Makers on the bill as their reunion continues trouble-free into 2017. It’s a reunion which has of course included a brand new studio album – 2015’s Anthems For Doomed Youth – when the band proved they ‘still reign supreme when seeking escapism in a harsh world‘ according to Live4ever:
“‘Fame and Fortune‘ is where the fun really starts, a near slapstick Carry On style vocal delivery from Doherty befitting their beloved England of a bygone age, encapsulated by the burgeoning London theatre scene.”
“A Dickensian tale of wandering the streets of Camden seeking fame and bright lights includes a raft of typically wistful metaphors and what appears to be a chilling reference to their own journey: ‘Hold on to your dreams, however bleak it seems, The world they may not listen, but the devil may care’.”
