Pack up your buckets and spades, and your works! The Libertines have announced details of a 2017 tour of UK seaside towns and we have all the details you need below.

Tickets go on sale at 9am, Friday, June 16 and you can get them here.

26 - Scarborough Spa
30 - Lowestoft Claremont Pier

OCTOBER

Sounding as if he’s stuck in the throes of particularly heavy binging session, Carl Barât said of the tour: “We're looking for a home, one roof for the many splendoured trappings of Arcady, a factory, with a guest house, bar and studio. We do like to be beside the seaside and we hope to find that home on this tour... watch this space …”

But before all that, The Libertines have a few summer dates coming up that should get you in the mood for their autumn sojourn. Mark the dates and plan your demise here:

JULY

21-22 – Sheffield, Tramlines Festival
