Babyshambles just announced that they’re reuniting to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Down in Albion, which will see them play across the nation next year.
This is how you can see Babyshambles on tour starting in 2019. The band’s first tour de force in more than ten years will be Down in Albion, their first studio album, on the 20th anniversary. Pete Doherty took a break from his other band, The Libertines, to form the band.
Doherty once said, “It’s unfinished business, and everywhere I go, I get’what’s happening with the ‘shambles’. For me, it’s obvious that I want to play some of those old tunes and have a little shindig.
However, the band acknowledges that heartache was what spurred them to re-enter the road. Former lead guitarist Patrick Walden passed away in June at the age of 46. Drew McConnell, a base player, said: “We have to decide to go on a tour right now.
Since Patrick’s tragic passing, according to them, the band has since decided to continue celebrating the anniversary.
Down in Albion, Shotter’s Nation, and Sequel To The Prequel are three albums Babyshambles have released throughout their careers. Due to the band members not having been in direct communication, it was “hard” to say when the reunion discussions had taken place in a new interview.
He said, “I don’t think the four of us have been in the same room for so long,” in an interview with NME. He continued, adding that he and Mick had been playing with the idea of tiptoeing into “polite society” for about four to five years.
Before splitting in 2009, Babyshambles had been scheduled to back Oasis, but they were ultimately dropped from the bill because they failed to make the tour’s opening night. It’s unfortunate that no one in the audience believed that it wasn’t my fault, but I was willing to accept that. Pete claimed that that was the missus who had purposefully kept me.
He just appeared so peaceful, and I didn’t want to wake him up, he said, “OK cool,” and Pete said he “hopes” there will be new material because he has already written a song that he thinks could work for the band.
He claimed that releasing a single as well as a few B-sides would be “nice,” and that he already has some concept ideas ready.
The band will play venues in London’s renowned Brixton Academy, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds, Nottingham, Norwich, and Plymouth. Hits like F*** Forever were included on the 2005 album Down In Albion.
Tickets for the live performances go on sale on September 5 and there is a pre-sale on September 3.
