The Libertines have shared a new teaser clip on social media, promising an “incoming” announcement.
The band posted the video on Twitter this evening (April 8), which includes various live footage of the band set to their classic 2003 single ‘Don’t Look Back Into The Sun’, with the caption “Giddy-up…” and an eyes emoji.
The sixteen-second clip ends with the words “ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING”, while Pete Doherty responded to the tweet with a love heart. No further details have been shared as yet.

In October last year, Carl Barat spoke to NME to discuss an update on their long-awaited follow-up to 2015’s ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth’.
âItâs been going well, but itâs been difficult with COVID,â Barat explained. âWe started writing here, and that was going really well but John [Hassall, bass] is in Denmark and Pete [Doherty] is in France. Itâs been a fucker to travel.
“Weâre just waiting to get back on it, really. Weâre all writing and itâs all positive. Weâre just waiting to get back and lay stuff down, itâs just a matter of when. It would be nice if we could do it here. That would make a lot of sense. Weâve never been readier. We just need to get together and do it.â
Last week (March 29), Doherty also revealed that he’s mostly sober since relocating to France.
âAt the moment Iâm quite clean. I stopped taking heroin and ketamine,” The Libertines’ frontman said. “I like experimenting, making cocktails with champagne, a bit of rum, orange juice. Iâm coming across like a bit of an alcoholic, but Iâm not – I like a nice glass of water.â
