#Libertines6Music - A Libertines-inspired playlist

With news that The Libertines are back, back back, Tom Robinson invites 6 Music listeners to help create an unmissable playlist inspired one of the most volatile bands in the business.

Following a teaser on their Facebook page, online music sites have been buzzing with news of Pete, Carl and co.'s headline July gig in Hyde Park, as tickets eventually went on sale this week.

It's been a decade since the release of their last album - and four years since their last public appearance.
And in true Libertines headline-grabbing fashion, news of their reunion gig was surrounded by online rumours of impending new material as well as speculation around the pay packet the band were getting for their first big comeback show.

So in honour of the band known for their break-ups and make-ups as much as their music, Now Playing puts together a themed playlist - featuring anything from Libertines classics and side projects to those artists the band has influenced or been influenced by, or even other acts known for their high-profile bust-ups.

Song suggestions and comments are invited via the hashtag #Libertines6Music on Twitter as well as through the 6 Music and Now Playing Facebook pages, collaborative playlists on Spotify and Rdio and the usual other contact methods.
