Carl Barat Hints At New Libertines Material For Hyde Park Show

Carl Barât has hinted at the possibility of new Libertines material being played at the band's forthcoming summer stop at Hyde Park.
In an interview with the Independent, the band's co-frontman confirmed that he is to meet up with Pete Doherty and "get the guitars out". He said:
“We’re brothers, we still finish each other’s sentences. I’m seeing Pete next week and we’ll get the guitars out. Hopefully we’ll come up with some new songs for Hyde Park.”
Meanwhile, the band's booking has come under scrutiny from local residents in the upmarket London area. Noise levels have been an ongoing concern in recent years, while the number of shows at Hyde Park has also been scaled back.
Anthony Lorenz, head of the Residents’ Society of Mayfair and St James’s, objected to Doherty's presence, along with the show being lined up back-to-back with Black Sabbath's British Summer Time date. He told the Independent:
“We’ve had meetings over the noise levels and volume controls from the Hyde Park concerts and they have been under control recently. But we can’t be supportive of this sort of individual. Together with the Ozzy Osbourne concert the day before, it’s the last thing we need in the middle of Mayfair.”
The Libertines Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows:
Sat July 05 2014 - LONDON Hyde Park
