CMU reports:

Somewhat confused reports of exactly what happened at and just outside The Underground club in Stoke On Trent on Tuesday night after a showcase hosted by Libertine Pete Doherty to mark the launch of the debut single from the singer's side project Babyshambles. Featuring a number of bands rated by Doherty, and songs performed by him and fellow Libertine Carl Barat, from what we can gather the venue was heaving all night but trouble began when Doherty started pulling on some drapes that covered the venue's ceiling while performing with Babyshambles. The crowd apparently followed suit successfully pulling the entire drape down. Things then became more rawkus and a bit of the venue's wall fell in!

One fan at the event told the NME: "What a night, what a cracking night! Stage invasions, club got wrecked, gig was stopped, ended up having a street party with Pete on guitar...Total rock and roll!". Despite the rowdiness there doesn't seem to have been any outrage as yet, with the promoter behind the night simply saying the event "ended in can what only be described as rock and roll manner!"
