The Libertines with The Mary Wallopers, The Charlatans, and more

The Libertines, formed in London by Carl Barât and Pete Doherty, revitalized British indie rock combining melodic styles with poetic songwriting.

Frequent drummer Gary Powell and bassist John Hassall joined the lineup, and Mick Jones collaborated on production. Known for chaotic performances and drama, their hits include "Can't Stand Me Now" and "Don't Look Back into the Sun." After a hiatus, the band returned with 2015's "Anthems for Doomed Youth."

The Mary Wallopers, started by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy with friend Sean McKenna, is an Irish ballad group known for raw, energetic performances. Their debut EP, "A Mouthful of The Mary Wallopers," captures their unique blend of warmth and chaos. Expanded to a six-piece, they sold out shows at Dublin's Vicar Street and Camden's Powerhaus, earning a reputation for lively gigs.
