Glastonbury is still recovering from the bone-shaking 'secret' set from The Libertines last night. So great was the surprise that one may forget about the new material they aired. Check it out below.
Carl, Pete, Gary and John all stormed the Pyramid Stage after hours of rumour and speculation when Glasto boss Emily Eavis revealed that a surprise band would be filling in the slot originally held by Florence + The Machine before she stepped up to headline (and very well she did too, we might add).
During their set, loaded with Libs classics and fan favourites, the band debuted numbers from their long-awaited third album - expected for release later this summer. This involved another airing of new track 'Gunga Din' and inviting out the marvellous Gigwise favourite Ed Harcourt for old favourite revisited 'You're My Waterloo' and the live debut of 'Handsome'.
