Pete Doherty and co will play their first live dates in 11 years to celebrate 20 years of their Down In Albion album.
After months of speculation, Babyshambles announced their live return.
The '00s indie rockers - comprised of Peter Doherty (vocals/ guitar), Mick Whitnall (guitar), Drew McConnell (bass guitar) and Adam Ficek (drums) - confirmed 10 shows November and December, visiting the likes of Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow and London's O2 Academy Brixton.
Now they've added extra shows at London's O2 Academy Brixton on 17th November, Glasgow's O2 Academy on 5th December and a new date at the Bristol O2 Academy on 9th December.
The tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of Babyshambles’ much-loved debut album Down In Albion, which included the singles F**k Forever and Killamangiro.

Frontman Pete Doherty said of the dates: “We were all thinking we should do a few shows and everywhere I go I get ‘what’s happening with the ‘shambles.’ It’s a no brainer for me, play some of the old tunes and have a little shindig.”
Babyshambles were formed in 2003 during a hiatus with The Libertines when Doherty was forced to step down from the band.
The rockers have released three Top 10 albums: Down In Albion (2005), Shotter's Nation (2007) and Sequel To The Prequel (2013) and scored four Top 10 singles with Killamangiro, F**k Forever, Albion and Delivery.
