Pete Doherty has announced a UK headline tour for 2027. Find all the details below.
The singer-songwriter will hit the road early next year, marking his first run of dates with his current solo band on these shores.
He is joined in the line-up by drummer Mike Joyce (The Smiths), guitarist Mike Moore (Liam Gallagher/Oasis), bassist/pedal steel guitarist Mark Neary (Baxter Dury), guitarist Jack Jones (Trampolene) and Doherty’s wife, keyboardist Katia deVidas (Puta Madres).

Doherty released his latest solo record, ‘Felt Better Alive’, last year. The project peaked at Number Seven on the UK albums chart. He added Mike Joyce to his live band around the same time.
Next week, Babyshambles will share their new live LP ‘Live At KOKO’, capturing a show from their first tour together in over a decade. They released their first new song in 12 years – ‘Dandy Hooligan’ – in late 2025.
The Libertines, meanwhile, dropped their most recent album ‘All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade’ in 2024.
Speaking to NME this summer, Doherty teased that Babyshambles were working on “bits and bobs” when asked about new music. “There are some good ideas knocking about, but I don’t know whether to do them with ‘Shambles or offer them to The Libertines,” he said.
“It’s all a bit wide open, which is a good position to be in. There’s no pressure. We’re not contracted to anyone or signed to anyone as a band. We just exist as this autonomous collective in the midst of the music industry. I like it.”
He continued: “We’re kind of armed and dangerous, Babyshambles. We’ve got these amazing songs and some amazing characters. We’ll keep it as it is for now. Obviously if we write 12 amazing songs all together then we’d have to make a record.”
As for progress on the next Libertines album, Doherty told us that the band “finally [had] a general idea about something” while hinting at a potential “concept” record. “I really want to tell you, because it’s a really interesting idea but I’ll get in trouble,” he added.
