Babyshambles reunite for 2025 UK tour: ‘It’s unfinished business’
The tour comes to celebrate 20 years of the band's debut album, 'Down In Albion'
Babyshambles have confirmed a reunion tour of the UK in 2025 to celebrate 20 years of their debut album.
The Pete Doherty-fronted band last played together in 2014, and will return for 11 tour dates late this year to mark two decades of debut album Down In Albion.
Doherty said: “It’s unfinished business and everywhere I go I get ‘what’s happening with the ‘shambles.’ It’s a no brainer for me, a real desire to play some of them old tunes and have a little shindig.”
The tour will also be the band’s first gigs since the death of original guitarist Patrick Walden, who passed away in June of this year.
Bassist Drew McConnell said: “The death of Patrick made us determined that we have to tour now.”
