The English rock group The Libertines, who gave indie and garage rock in the new millennium (like The Strokes on the other side of the pond) a new meaning, a new life, restarted it and started a real revolution in the world music industry, is back again. This time they will stop in Milan with a concert on the 4th of July.
The Libertines, an English rock band, was formed in London in 1997 by the troubled but incredibly talented and charismatic Peter Doherty, co-frontman and guitarist Carl Barat, a drummer John Hassall and a bassist Gary Powell. The band enjoyed solid critical and commercial success in the UK, but was overshadowed by band feuds as a result of Doherty's drug addictions, which finally led to the breakup of the group in 2004.
In the first half of the previous decade, The Libertines released two critically acclaimed albums - Up the Bracket (2002) and The Libertines (2004) – which are still considered a concept in modern popular music today. Because of them, as well as because of their incredibly authentic, energetic and explosive live performances, the band has gained a wide circle of musical fans.

But the public was not only interested in their musical talents. She followed everything in a particularly varied way the private adventures of peter doherty, who attracted a lot of attention with his drinking and drug use. When the band disbanded shortly before the release of their second album due to his excesses, Peter Doherty formed an even more chaotic and bohemian band Babyshambles, but he also created a respectable solo musical path. The members of the post-punk revival band The Libertines played a few more times after that casually collected for various concerts and recordings, and this time they are also returning to the stage - we will be able to catch them in Milan on the 4th of July.
