The Libertines reunite onstage tonight
Pete and Carl play 13 Libertines classics
The Libertines reunited tonight (April 12) onstage in London.
Pete Doherty and Carl Barat played 13 songs at the second of Doherty's An Evening With Pete Doherty gigs at the Hackney Empire.
During the second half of the show Doherty teased the audience by saying: "You've been waiting for this moment. Ladies and gentlemen Mr Carlos Barat...only joking! What do you expect for 25 quid?"
Then Barat came on stage, wearing a Dior Homme suit and a trilby.
The duo played 13 Libertines classics including 'What Katie Did' and 'Time For Heroes'.
They whispered and hugged each other in between songs. During their cover of 'Dream A Little Dream' Barat did a tap dancing routine.
They encored the song 'The Delaney', left the stage and then re- emerged triumphantly holding each others hands in the air.
The party continued at the back of the venue, after the gig, with Doherty and Barat performing an impromptu version of 'Can't Stand Me Now'. Doherty's girlfriend Kate Moss was present.
Prior to Barat taking to the stage for the reunion, Doherty played a number of songs solo and with guest Andrew Wess and Bert Jansch including 'Killamangiro' and 'Cyclops'.
