Promoted under the banner The Joyce, Jones, DeVidas, Neary, Moore Tour, the run marks the first full British live stretch for this all-star lineup. On Doherty’s side on stage will be former Smiths drummer Mike Joyce, together with guitarist Mike Moore (noted for his work with Liam Gallagher), bassist and pedal steel player Mark Neary (associated with Baxter Dury), guitarist Jack Jones (Trampolene), and keyboardist Katia deVidas (Puta Madres). The ensemble will present a set spanning Doherty’s expansive solo discography as well as material from Babyshambles and The Libertines, in addition to select tracks from The Smiths.
The tour follows the broad critical and commercial acclaim enjoyed by Doherty’s most recent solo album, Felt Better Alive, which entered the UK charts at No. 7 in May 2025—his highest solo chart peak to date. The record yielded four well-received singles: “Pot Of Gold,” “The Day the Baron Died,” “Felt Better Alive,” and “Calvados.” Over a 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.
In conjunction with the solo tour news, Babyshambles are preparing to issue a new album, Live At Koko, slated for 13 November 2026. Fresh from a summer European tour, Babyshambles conclude the year with two Belgian shows in December before heading back to the UK for three sold-out London-area performances at the 100 Club, Kingston’s Circuit, and an “Evening with Babyshambles” at KOKO.
The February 2027 itinerary begins at Bath Komedia on 1 February, then visits Brighton’s Concorde 2, Falmouth’s Princess Pavilion, Southampton’s Engine Rooms, Nottingham’s Palais, Manchester’s Academy 2, Newcastle’s Wylam Brewery, Holmfirth’s Picturedrome, and Kidderminster Town Hall, before wrapping up at London’s Hackney Church on 12 February.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday 6 November 2026 at 10:00am.
