Libertines Go Somewhere Over The Railings
The Libertines have announced “Somewhere Over The Railings,” a week-long “takeover” of Camden in north London to mark the September 4 release of their Virgin EMI album ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth.’
On August 31, the day after the band headline at the Reading Festival, the series of events will start at the Dublin Castle venue in Camden. Tickets sold out within two minutes of going on sale. Art directed and curated by the group themselves, happenings will include a new photo exhibition, a Libertines pub quiz (hosted by bestselling writer and band expert Anthony Thornton), a new documentary by Roger Sargent filmed in Thailand during the making of the album, pre-release playbacks of the new record, exclusive prizes and plenty of surprises.
