The Libertines were forced to halt their comeback gig in Hyde Park after naked revellers climbed sound towers.

Chaotic scenes unfolded during the British Summer Time concert when fans jumped over VIP areas and pushed to the front, causing concerns over crowd safety.

Around 30 fans suffering from minor injuries were treated on site and less than 10 needed hospital treatment.

Minutes into second song Boys in the Band the 60,000 strong crowd were asked to spread out due to the surge.

Pete Doherty played White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army and strummed his guitar to Foundations’ Build Me Up Buttercup in an attempt to calm down the audience.

Band members urged the audience to behave and to stop throwing fireworks and flares.

Doherty urged the crowd to move back before telling them: "We can't carry on if you don't calm down a bit."

Towards the end of the evening the set had to be halted again after fans climbed the sound towers, some of them naked, in a bid to get a better view of the stage.

One Twitter user, Joe Harding, wrote: "The Libertines absolutely smashed the s*** out of it tonight. All of us climbing on the platform during the show will stay with me forever."

During the performance Doherty and Carl Barat put their personal differences aside as they shared a microphone and hugged while on stage.

Words can't begin to describe how sick @libertines were tonight. Jumped the barrier into the VIP and it went off! Cocobananas for the après! — Matthew Leggett (@RealMattLeggett) July 6, 2014

Doherty paid tribute to Queens Park Rangers, Johnny Marr and Gerry Conlon, who was among four people wrongly imprisoned for IRA Guildford pub bombings and died last month.

Earlier on in the day Irish band The Pogues halted their set as a fan needed medical assistance.

Nobody was seriously injured.
