The first footage of the newly reformed Libertines has emerged online today with Pete Doherty posting a Youtube video of the band.

The video (which you can see below) shows the band playing a rough version of 'Up The Bracket' album track 'Horrorshow'.

Footage of the rehearsal is cut between a studio and old concert footage believed to be from about 2003.

The Libertines are currently practising for three massive re-union shows. The first of these will take place at The Forum in Kentish Town, London on August 25.

Two festival appearances follow at both Reading and Leeds.
