Billed as The Joyce, Jones, DeVidas, Neary, Moore Tour, the dates mark the first British live run for the star-studded lineup. Joining Doherty on stage is former Smiths drummer Mike Joyce, alongside guitarist Mike Moore (Liam Gallagher), bassist and pedal steel player Mark Neary (Baxter Dury), guitarist Jack Jones (Trampolene), and keyboardist Katia deVidas (Puta Madres). Together, the ensemble will perform a career-spanning set drawing from Doherty’s extensive solo back catalogue, Babyshambles, and The Libertines, as well as select material from The Smiths.
The tour follows the widespread critical and commercial success of Doherty’s latest solo album, Felt Better Alive, which entered the UK chart at Number 7 in May 2025—marking his highest-ever solo chart placement. The record spawned four popular singles: “Pot Of Gold,” “The Day the Baron Died,” “Felt Better Alive,” and “Calvados.” Across his twenty-year career, Doherty has released twelve studio albums: four with The Libertines, three with Babyshambles, three solo records, one with The Puta Madres, and his 2022 collaboration with Frédéric Lo, The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime.
Alongside the solo announcement, Babyshambles are preparing to release a new album, Live At Koko, on 13 November 2026. Fresh off a summer European tour, Babyshambles finish the year with two Belgian shows in December before heading home for three sold-out London-area dates at the 100 Club, Kingston’s Circuit, and an ‘Evening with Babyshambles’ at KOKO.
The February 2027 tour starts at Bath Komedia on 1 February, calling at Brighton Concorde 2, Falmouth Princess Pavilion, Southampton Engine Rooms, Nottingham The Palais, Manchester Academy 2, Newcastle Wylam Brewery, Holmfirth Picturedrome, and Kidderminster Town Hall, before finishing at London’s Hackney Church on 12 February.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday 6 November 2026 at 10:00am.
