05 June 2019, 14:32 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Iconic duo Peter Doherty and Carl Barât have announced two acoustic London shows for September.

The two sets are part of London's Somewhere Festival, and will see Doherty and Barât reunite for the first time since last year's performances with The Libertines.

Although Doherty recently released his new album with The Puta Madres, he is also working on The Libertines' next album alongside Barât.

Speaking about their upcoming shows at Hackney Empire, Barât says, "It’s been a long old while since Peter and I have done anything like this, we are both really excited by the prospect and I’m sure there will be a few surprises. It will be a right old night, at what is one of our favourite venues - the Hackney Empire."

Somewhere festival takes place at Hackney Empire from 5-6 September. Tickets go on sale 10am Friday (7 June). Find out more.
