The Libertines To Release New Album Next Year

Following their recent comeback gig at Hyde Park, The Libertines star Carl Barat has suggested fans can expect a new album next year.

During an interview with NME, the guitarist explained that recording together again has "always" been their intention, stating: "I don't wanna just go on the road because then you'll get cabin fever and have an epic fallout.

"So yeah, I want to keep something fresh coming in. We just need to find the time."

When asked for a possible released date for their new LP, the co-frontman added: "Next year, it has to be."

Barat's bandmate Pete Doherty also hinted at the possibility of new material, claiming the group will travel to Germany for writing sessions.

He stated: "For some reason in my head, I'm thinking October, November time.

"That's what will have to happen. Basically, it'll have to be like Paris, but in Hamburg, and for a bit longer. I'm well up for it."
