Babyshambles Reunites for 10-Date UK Tour Marking 20 Years of Down in Albion

The band says years of sobriety made the timing possible after the recent death of guitarist Patrick Walden.

Overview

  • The group announced ten UK shows for November and December 2025, their first tour together in eleven years.
  • Tickets enter presale on September 3, with general sale beginning September 5.
  • Pete Doherty says past addiction concerns kept the lineup apart until he and guitarist Mick Whitnall had been clean for several years.
  • Doherty cites founding guitarist Patrick Walden’s death in June as a key trigger for committing to the reunion.
  • The band is working on new songs, including one titled “Dandy Hooligan,” and plans a single with B-sides tied to larger shows.
