Waterhouse was performing at the O2 Forum Kentish as part of her U.K. and European tour
The Libertines‘ Carl Barât joined Suki Waterhouse for a performance of the band’s 2004 single “Can’t Stand Me Now” during her show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London.
Waterhouse, who is currently touring in the U.K. and Europe, surprised the crowd on Sunday night by inviting Barât on stage. The Libertines member played guitar and sang along with Waterhouse on the raucous track, off the band’s self-titled sophomore LP.
Waterhouse also covered Oasis‘ “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” which she has been regularly performing on tour (she showcased her cover of the song at Reading & Leeds 2025 last weekend). The musician will perform a second show at the O2 Forum Kentish Town tonight before heading to Belfast to play Ulster Hall on Thursday. She will bring her tour to the U.S. in September for a series of dates supporting Laufey.
Waterhouse’s most recent album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, in 2024. In June, she released a deluxe edition of the record featuring 12 additional tracks, including single “The Bellboy (One Last Crush)” and several live recordings.
“I didn’t feel like I owned my story at all or any of the stuff that happened to me,” Waterhouse told Rolling Stone upon Sparklemuffin‘s release. “It’s the first time I’m thinking about this out loud, but being a little older … It’s entirely mine. And things happened to me, but I’m also the hero of my own story.”
Last year, Waterhouse joined Taylor Swift as an opener for an Eras Tour stop in London on Aug. 17. “I was dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of this happening,” she told Rolling Stone of the opportunity. “I was manifesting super hard. So when [I found out], I was like, yes, dreams can come true.”
