Babyshambles announce Bridlington Spa gig for March next year

Led by one of British music’s most distinctive and talked-about frontmen, Pete Doherty, the band will bring their celebrated catalogue of indie anthems, raw energy and unmistakable attitude to the Royal Hall on Wednesday, March 17 next year.

A defining figure of the British indie scene, Doherty first rose to prominence as co-founder and frontman of The Libertines before forming Babyshambles in 2003.

Renowned for his poetic songwriting, charismatic stage presence and unmistakable musical style, he has remained one of the most compelling characters in British rock.

With Babyshambles, Doherty carved out a sound entirely their own, blending punk attitude, indie rock, folk influences and infectious melodies.

Their debut album, Down in Albion, introduced audiences to tracks including the much-loved 'Killamangiro', while their follow-up album, Shotter’s Nation, delivered the hit singles ‘Delivery’ and ‘You Talk’.

Over the years, Doherty’s musical journey has taken him from the heights of the British indie explosion to acclaimed solo work, collaborations and performances across the world. Now, audiences in Bridlington will have the chance to experience the unmistakable sound of Babyshambles live on the Yorkshire coast.

From the swagger and energy of their biggest tracks to the distinctive songwriting that has made Pete Doherty such an enduring figure, this promises to be a night for indie fans old and new.

Mark Lonsdale, General Manager at Bridlington Spa, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Babyshambles and Pete Doherty to Bridlington Spa. Pete is one of the most recognisable and influential figures in British indie music, and Babyshambles have a catalogue of songs that have soundtracked a generation.”

Tickets are on general sale tomorrow (Friday, November 20) at 10am and are priced at £39.50 plus booking fee.
