Babyshambles - Live at the o2 Academy, 9th December 2025

Peter Doherty has always been consistent and prolific; either through playing gigs or rattling out material at a steady pace for over two decades.

Yet 2025 has been remarkable even by his standards. A solo album and tour in the spring preceded yet another summer of touring with The Libertines, while the last few months of the year have been taken up with a reunited Babyshambles playing their first shows for over a decade.

At this penultimate show of the tour in Bristol (December 9th), he was ubiquitous all evening, acting as a ringmaster rather than just frontman.

The night began in a haze of synths courtesy of Keeley, her slinky electro-pop drifting across the room while Doherty watched from stage right, half-hidden in his own little dressing room.
