The Libertines have confirmed the line-up for their On The Beach show in Brighton this summer.

Pete Doherty and Carl BarĂ¢t announced that they would be headlining a very special show in Brighton this July in association with Radio X.

The Libertines - who will release their long-awaited new album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade on 8th March - will top a bill on a special stage on the world-famous beach.

Also appearing as very special guests on the day will be:

  • The Charlatans: fronted by Tim Burges, the band exploded on the baggy scene in 1990 with their debut Indian Rope and its follow-up hit, The Only One I Know. The band's thirteenth studio album, Different Days, was released in 2017. Their hits also include One To Another, North Country Boy and How High.
  • The Mary Wallopers: the folk rockers from Co Louth, who issued their second album Irish Rock & Roll in October 2023.
  • The Big Moon: the London based band, fronted by Juliette Jackson, are now onto their third album Here Is Everything, issued in 2022. Big tunes include Your Light and Trouble.
  • The Futureheads: the Sunderland post-punk favourites are best known for their cover of Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love and the band are marking 10 years since their self-titled debut album was release this summer.
  • Chappaqua Wrestling: the local heroes and Radio X favourites released one of the most acclaimed albums of last year in the form of their debut Plus Ultra.
