When alt-rockers The Getaway Plan broke up in 2009 they played massive farewell shows. In 2011 they returned even bigger.

Melbourne four-piece bid a sad farewell to their fans in 2009 after a top twenty debut album, but they couldn’t stay gone for long. In 2011 they reunited and released their second album, Requiem, which also hit the top twenty.

Matt and Clint from the band talk about the forces that separated them, and drew them back together, their side projects in the break, their triumphant new album, forthcoming Big Day Out shows and more.

The Libertines, Reverend and the Makers, The Forum, Tuesday 15th April, 2025

In 2004, The Libertines toured Australia for the first time, without Pete Doherty, due to his drug addictions. When the rest of the band toured Japan, feeling betrayed he burgled Carl Barat’s flat and was jailed for six months. Since then, Doherty has toured with the band notably in 2018, where they also played the Forum and, on this sold-out show, clearly devoid of drugs and shenanigans of the past, the two albeit more mature founding members Doherty and Barat have well and truly buried the hatchet.
