The Libertines will be back in London next month supporting drummer Gary Powell‘s Unity Rocks initiative.
Backed by Rat Boy, the band play Brixton’s O2 Academy on September 7th, helping Unity Rocks along with many other events which are being planned across the UK.
“The idea of ‘Unity Rocks’ is to bring people together, regardless of their creed, colour, religion of whether they voted Brexit or not,” Powell says. “This is not about politics or politicians, it’s about unifying as a nation and working to make a united more tolerant Britain, after all the future is in our hands.”
“By using the power of music we hope to ‘pluck’ the ears of the political elite to our view and make them notice that our voices must be heard – whether it be via song or otherwise.”
Tickets are on sale Monday, August 8th.
