Martin, Barat attend Strokes comeback gig

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Libertines guitarist Carl Barat were among the guests at The Strokes' first UK gig in four years last night.

BBC News reports that the pair attended the 'Reptilia' band's show at the 450-capacity Dingwalls in London.

One fan who paid £100 for a ticket told BBC 6 Music: "I would have paid a lot more for it. I've been listening to The Strokes since their first album and I've never had the opportunity to see them live."

Another who had sold a spare ticket for £200 on eBay added: "I go to a lot of gigs, I don't like ticket touting, but it was an opportunity I couldn't let go. I feel bad for doing it but I'm not going to say no to a hundred quid."
