The Smiths drummer, Mike Joyce, is on the skins in Doherty’s solo band for their first UK tour, which reaches Brighton on Tuesday 2 February, 2027.
Peter Doherty has named his first UK tour with his solo band after the people in it.
The Joyce, Jones, deVidas, Neary, Moore Tour plays Concorde 2 on Tuesday 2 February. It’s the second of ten dates, opening at Bath Komedia the night before and closing at Hackney Church on the 12th.
The Joyce is Mike Joyce, The Smiths’ drummer. Mike Moore (Liam Gallagher, Oasis) and Trampolene’s Jack Jones play guitar. Mark Neary (Baxter Dury) is on bass and pedal steel, and Katia deVidas, from Doherty’s Puta Madres, is on keys.
The set covers his whole career, with solo songs alongside Babyshambles, Libertines and Smiths material.
He has twelve albums to pick from across those bands, his solo records and his collaborations, but for some people the draw may be a Smiths song with Joyce behind the kit.
His last album, ‘Felt Better Alive’, went in at No. 7 in May 2025. That’s his highest solo chart position, and it got four-star reviews from MOJO, The Times, The Independent and the Telegraph.
Pot Of Gold, The Day the Baron Died, Calvados and the title track were the singles.
Babyshambles are busy too. Their live album, Live At Koko, comes out on 13 November, and they end the year with three sold-out December shows at the 100 Club, the Circuit in Kingston and KOKO.
Tickets went on general sale on Friday 6 November.
If you can’t make Brighton, the nearest other dates are Southampton Engine Rooms on Friday 5 February and Hackney Church in London on Friday 12 February.
