The Libertines only rehearsed for one hour prior to their sell-out show at London's Hyde Park last month.
While the group - who reunited for the gig at the British Summer Time Festival - played two warm up shows in Glasgow, their only planned rehearsal in Hamburg, Germany, was disrupted when singer Pete Doherty "kidnapped" the band in the camper van he now lives in.
Drummer Gary Powell told Mojo: "While we were inside looking around he decided to kidnap us and drove off. We ended up down the Reeperbahn getting hassled by some prostitutes and watching the football. Hilarious!"
The Libertines formed in 1997 and were originally signed to Rough Trade before they split in 2004, after their success was often eclipsed by singer Pete's addictions to crack cocaine and heroin.
The band later reformed in 2010 for massive reunion shows at Leeds and Reading Festivals and four years later they are aiming for another comeback.
Speaking about the Libertine's comeback, singer Carl Barat previously said: "I'm not sure if it was a triumph but it was certainly unpredictable, as most things with this always band are."

Foxes was starstruck when Pharrell Williams asked her to support him on tour.
The 'Holding Onto Heaven' hitmaker, real name Louisa Rose Allen, is a huge fan of the 'Happy' singer and still can't believe he personally asked for her to be his support act on his European tour.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "I couldn't quite believe he knew who I was. He said he was a really big fan, he loved my sound and that I was really unique. I did this cover of his song 'Happy' and we chatted about that. He made me feel really comfortable, he's so chilled.
"I remember being a kid and just looking up to him and thinking he's just the king of music."
It's a big year for the 25-year-old star, who will make her acting debut in an episode of the upcoming eighth series of the hit BBC sci-fi drama 'Doctor Who' but she admitted she initially had some reservations.
She explained: "It's more singing than acting. That's why I'm doing it. Acting isn't something I thought I would get into.'

Orlando Bloom has reportedly been "frolicking" with Erica Packer.
The 'Lord of the Rings' actor - who got into an altercation with Justin Bieber in Ibiza in the early hours of Wednesday (30.07.14) morning - was seen looking close to the singer on the island of Formentera on Thursday (31.07.14) and showed no signs of being upset about his row with the teenage singer, the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column reports.
Erica is the ex-wife of Australian billionaire James Packer, who has most recently been romantically linked to Orlando's former wife Miranda Kerr.
Orlando and Justin reportedly got into a fight about Miranda - who the 'Believe' hitmaker was romantically linked with during her marriage to the British actor - at upmarket eatery Cipriani.
'The Hobbit' star attempted to punch the singer after Justin reportedly told him, "Say hi to Miranda for me.
Miranda's lawyer previously insisted that rumours she cheated on Orlando, with whom she has three-year-old son Flynn, with the 'Confident' singer after the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2012 were "false and defamatory."
And the Australian beauty recently denied she and James were romantically involved.
She said: "We've been friends for years. [Rumours] happen all the time with me, it happens to Orlando [too]. We understand it. As long as we both know [the truth], then it doesn't really matter what people think. People can speculate as much as they like.
"You're with a friend and then they assume that just because you're with a friend it's suddenly: that's your new partner. People just assume, just because you're going to have a coffee with someone or have dinner, then suddenly you're dating!"
However, earlier this week it was claimed Miranda had been making secret visits to the businessman's hotel.

James Buckley thinks the 'Inbetweeners 2' cast is like an unfancied "football team".
The 26-year-old actor - who plays sex fantasist Jay Cartwright in the movie - believes fans want them succeed because they're not the typical movie stars.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "People root for us, like a football team. They want us to do well because we're very much the underdog.
"We don't look like film stars, and we don't act like them. In a way, we are very similar to 'The Inbetweeners' in that we are out of our depth."
Despite this, Buckley admits he and his co-stars Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison are not adverse to mixing with other stars as they've struck up a close friendship with the One Direction boys over the years.
He explained: "They love 'The Inbetweeners', which is great. When I read that Harry Styles introduced [his ex-girlfriend] Taylor Swift to 'The Inbetweeners' dance when they got together, I texted him and said, 'Good lad.' "
The 'Best Song Ever' hitmakers - also consisting of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - have even incorporated the 'Macarena' sequence - which appeared in the first 'Inbetweeners' film in 2011 - into their stage performance.
Buckley added: "They do the dance but they make it quite good."
Meanwhile, 'The Inbetweeners 2' is set to hit screens on August 6.

'The X Factor' judges have filmed a 'Game of Thrones'-themed advert.
Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole - who is expected to use her new married name Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on the show - Mel B and Louis Walsh - were joined by hundreds of extras at Pinewood Studios shooting the £1 million trailer, the most expensive in the show's history.
The short film - which took a week to film - sees the quartet lead singing warrior armies into war as they prepare to do battle to take the 'X Factor' throne, echoing the fantasy drama which sees warring families competing to take control of the seven kingdoms
The advert, which was helmed by One Direction music video director Ben Winston, also made extensive use of green screen and CGI technology.
Mel B shouts: "Things are about to get loud."
Cheryl winks and orders her 'army' to charge, while Simon warns: "It's time to get down to business."
The new advert will air for the first time on ITV tonight (01.08.14).
Meanwhile, Cheryl was reportedly left "unimpressed" by Louis at the Wembley auditions yesterday (31.07.14) after he told her he "didn't know" how to pronounce her new surname.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It was a frosty moment, Cheryl wasn't impressed."

Kerry Katona cried as she watched her fiance being handcuffed by police before being under the Mental Health Act on Wednesday evening (30.07.14).
George Kay was reportedly admitted to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford after a concerned motorist called the police when she saw him running down the road near his and Kerry's home screaming that someone was going to kill him.
The Sun newspaper reports that George was shouting: "Kerry, Kerry, they're going to f***ing kill me. They are hitting me with the hammer. Why are you letting them do this?
"Kerry, Kerry, open the gate, please, love...
"Call me a f***ing ambulance."
A family friend said Kerry - who briefly watched proceedings from the doorway of her rented five-bedroom home in Oxfordshire was dressed in a robe and towel - was "devastated and very upset".
The insider added: "She was crying, in bits. None of the kids were around."
A passer-by told the newspaper: "George asked me for help, but it was as if he was looking straight through me."
He was also heard telling police officers: "You're burning me. Stop, I'm on fire."
A spokesman for Thames Valley Police told The Sun newspaper: "Thames Valley Police can confirm that officers were called to a road in Chinnor shortly after 6pm following concerns for the welfare of a man.
"A 34-year-old man was detained at the scene and taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where he was detained under the Mental Health Act. He was later discharged."
The Atomic Kitten singer - who has children Molly, 12, Lilly-Sue, 11, Heidi, seven, and Max, six, from previous relationships and recently gave birth to her first child, Dylan-Jorge, with George - declined to comment, but a neighbour, who asked not to be named, told MailOnline: "It looked like he had been taking something like cocaine or ecstasy I think. He was behaving very strangely - actually it was quite frightening."
George was later released and Thames Valley Police confirmed they did not carry out any substance abuse tests and he faces no charges.

Adrienne Bailon insists she never wanted to be famous for being "someone's girlfriend".
The former 'Cheetah Girls' star caused a stir earlier this week, after she claimed dating Rob Kardashian hurt her career and she has now defended herself after her remarks were slammed by his sisters Kim and Khloe.
Taking to Instagram yesterday (31.07.14), she wrote: "Fame and a Career are two different things. I've always had a career. I've been working hard since I was 15 years old. Being someone's "girlfriend" was never what I wanted to be famous for. "
In a direct comment to Kim, she added: "What makes you "famous" isn't always what you want to be "labelled" as, or known for. If anyone should understand that... It should be you."
The 30-year-old singer also defended her comments regarding her ex-boyfriend Rob, who she dated from 2007 to 2009, insisting she didn't regret their relationship.
She added: "I also stated in the article that none of this would have stopped me from being that relationship. I just would have gone about it differently. You can love someone just as much in private. We all learn from our first loves."
Following the publication of Adrienne's interview in Latina magazine, Kim blasted her for "kicking her brother when he is down".
She also tweeted: "Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian (sic)"
Her sister Khloe Kardashian also joined in later tweeting: "thought her and I were cool SMH (sic)"

Mollie King has reportedly got back together with David Gandy.
The Saturdays singer split with her US producer boyfriend Jordan Omley last month and following their separation, she has grown increasingly close to the hunky model, who she dated for 10 months two years ago.
A source said: "Mollie and Jordan are all over. It ended over a month ago and was actually very amicable.
"It was a mutual decision between them and things had just come to a natural end."
Earlier this week, Mollie, 27, and David, 34, were spotted holding hands on a night out in Fulham, west London, but they are said to be taking their rekindled romance slowly.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "David and Mollie never fell out and remained pretty close even after they broke up.
"There's obviously a strong attraction but they're taking things slowly and waiting to see if it's practical to become serious again.
"But there was no crossover between Jordan and David. Mollie's a very loyal girlfriend."
The 'Disco Love' singer is said to have ended her romance with Jordan because the distance between them proved too much, and is so private most of her friends only found out when she attended bandmate Frankie Sandford's recent wedding to Wayne Bridge alone.

Barack Obama hailed Katy Perry as a "wonderful person" last night (31.07.14).
The US president was delighted to have the 'Dark Horse' hitmaker perform at the White House at a dinner to honour the 46th anniversary of the Special Olympics and admitted he felt "grateful" she had taken time out of her busy schedule to be at the event.
Introducing her on stage, Obama said: "We have just one of my favorite people performing tonight -- Katy Perry. We are so grateful to her.
"I love Katy Perry. She is just a wonderful person. I've just met her mom and now I know why she is such a wonderful person, but I just want everybody to know she is on tour right now and so for her to take time out to do this is really special, and so we really want to say thank you to her for doing this."
Among those in attendance at the dinner were 'Lately' hitmaker Stevie Wonder, tennis player Andy Roddick and his model wife Brooklyn Decker.
Taking her mother, Mary Hudson, to the event was a big turnaround for Katy - who has performed twice before for the president - as she previously claimed she had banned her pastor parents from watching her sing at the Commander-in-Chief's second inauguration in 2012 because they didn't vote for him.
She said in the past: "My parents are Republicans, and I'm not. They didn't vote for Obama, but when I was asked to sing at the inauguration, they were like, 'We can come.' And I was like, 'No, you can't. I love you so much, but that--on principle.' They understood, but I was like, 'How dare you?' in a way."

Taylor Lautner says taking a role in 'Cuckoo' was a "big risk".
The 'Twilight' star is currently starring alongside 'The Inbetweeners' comedian Greg Davies in the second series of the BBC Three show and he's admitted he was worried about joining the cast of the comedy.
The actor explained: "I wasn't confident at all. I'd only done cameos in comedy films before and I hosted 'Saturday Night Live', but this was my first fully fledged comedy, so it was a big risk for me. But I'm so glad I did it."
The heartthrob also revealed the reasoning behind him agreeing to appear in the show which previously starred 'Brooklyn Nine Nine' actor Andy Samberg in the first series.
He said: "Well, I hadn't seen the show originally, but the producers reached out and said they'd love for me to look at it and see if I was interested.
"So I watched the first series and loved it from beginning to end. I knew it would be something completely different for me, and that was the biggest thing that attracted me to it.
"I haven't done anything like this before. I thought it would be a lot of fun and that's exactly how it turned out."
Taylor also spoke about his character and described him as being "like a little puppy dog in many ways".
He told heat magazine: "He's very sweet and naïve, but also very loyal to this new family he's ended up living with."
