Babyshambles 2025 UK reunion tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

For the first time in more than a decade, Babyshambles are officially set to hit the road in 2025. The English rock band will reunite in late 2025 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Down in Albion.

The band is led by Pete Doherty. Babyshambles was formed during Doherty's hiatus from The Libertines. Their debut, Down in Albion, came out in 2005. The band released two more albums: Shotter's Nation (2007) and Sequel to the Prequel (2013).

After 2013, Babyshambles quietly went on a break. In June 2025, the band's former guitarist, Patrick Walden, who played in Down in Albion, died at 46. The newly announced autumn UK tour will be a celebration of Down in Albion and a tribute to Walden.

Babyshambles took to their official Instagram page to announce the 2025 UK tour, captioning:

"We are reuniting for the first time in 10 years to celebrate 20 years of Down in Albion. Pre-sale goes live Wednesday sign-up now for early access: https://babyshambles.os.fan/sign-up Tickets on general sale Friday 5th September, 10 am. 🎟"

Patrick Walden was part of the band's original lineup. He co-wrote multiple songs on Down in Albion. Doherty stated that Walden had been in talks to rejoin for the reunion before his death. Doherty shared,

"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.'"

Drew McConnell added:

"The death of Patrick (Walden) made us determined that we have to tour now."
