As anticipation gathers around the release of The Libertines' long-awaited third album, the band have returned to the road and aired new track 'Gunga Din' - check it out below.
The band were headlining last night at Best Kept Secret Festival in Holland, when they dropped the new number towards the end of their set during the encore.
"We're going to give you one (a new song) - but it's got to be a secret, yeah?" teased Pete Doherty. "Turn all your phones off. Let's give this a go then, see how she bares up", before Carl Barat added: "she'll die!"
'Gunga Din' is a ska-infused dose of pure classic ramshackle Libertines. Album No.3 can't come soon enough.
