The rescheduled gig will occur in London next month

Pete Doherty has rescheduled his headline solo show at the London Royal Albert Hall for July 12.

The gig had been originally scheduled to take place on April 26, but the singer’s incarceration for breaching probation meant the date had to be postponed.

Original tickets for the gig – which sold out in 20 minutes – need to be exchanged for new tickets valid for the rescheduled date. Fans can do this exchange at the original points of purchase.

The show will not be the Babyshambles man’s first foray on stage since he was released from jail today (May 6). Babyshambles play the London Kentish Town Forum on May 13.

Tickets for the Babyshambles gig go on sale tomorrow (May 7) at 9am (BST).

To check the availability of Babyshambles tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/GIGS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

Isn't simonpimpernell such a lovely young man. Someone who can use words such as "literary" in order to make himself look bigger and more intelligent. Sarcasm = lowest form of witHe's actually in the same league as nalaknip who decided to post in order to spark a reaction. It's a pity Simon gave him what he wanted
