Playlist: The Libertines

Straight from their tour bus...

The Libertines are back.

The good ship Albion is set to sale down the Thames once more this weekend, with the four-piece set to play a headline slot at London's O2 Arena on Saturday night (January 30th).

It's the culmination of a remarkable comeback that has combined press infamy and fan worship, alongside their first studio album in a decade.

With just a few hours to go until stage time, The Libertines have sneaked out a tour playlist to Clash. There are some surprises in here – sure, every expects to see The Clash or The Smiths beside the band's stereo, but James Blake, Thundercat and Digable Planets are amongst the more left field choices.
