The Libertines Fuel Reunion Rumours With Hyde Park Picture

Rumours of a Libertines reunion have been fuelled after a picture of Hyde Park was posted to the band's Facebook page.
The indie quartet - fronted by Pete Doherty and Carl Barât - haven’t performed together since 2010 and released their self-titled second album a decade ago.
Gigslutz are reporting that Barât told them to "keep July 5 free" after posing the reunion question at his DJ set at KPH in London on April 20, while the Guardian are running quotes, translated from Hebrew, from a Y Net interview with Doherty:
"I don't know if I should tell you this, but the Libertines were offered a concert in Hyde Park this July. They called me just yesterday...I said yes. I think that if you asked me the same question, most days, I'd say no.
"But just recently I tried to contact Carl [Barât] and I couldn't reach him, and I sat down and listened to some Libertines songs on YouTube, and suddenly had a burst of nostalgia. So I said, 'Why the hell not!' And then they told me what they would pay us and, well, I can't lie to you: I couldn't say no, at least not in my situation right now."
Black Sabbath will headline a British Summer Time show at Hyde Park on July 4.
