In a post on Facebook this morning, the group said: "We're wrapping up this year with one final show on our home turf in Margate.

"With the Albion Rooms open we're feeling well and truly dug in now, so it's time to deck the halls and haul the decks for a good winter knees-up by the sea."

The bar and studio space of the band's Albion Rooms opened in August after they bought the property on Eastern Esplanade in 2016.

It has been renovated to include 10 rooms, a bar - called The Waste Land - and recording studio spread over five storeys.

The hotel is expected to be completed in 2020 with the rooms and restaurant due to open in the early part of the year.

The Libertines will play at the Winter Gardens on Sunday, December 22 following dates in London, Glasgow, Manchester and more.

Tickets for the gig will go on sale on Friday here.
