The Indie icon, Pete Doherty, makes his return with a massive Brixton show
Indie | Tuesday 26th July 2011 | Osh
Pete (or Peter as he now likes to be known) Doherty has had a busy few months serving time at Her Majesty’s pleasure for Cocaine possession. However, he has been a good boy and early release was granted in July. For all of his trials and tribulations, Doherty is still one of the best songwriters of our generations and September will see his first tour since his release. The 23rd will see his return to the big stage of Brixton Academy for what is set to be a career-spanning set. With classic songs such as ‘Time For Heroes’ and ‘Killamangiro’, Doherty is more than set to bring anthems and sing-a-longs to SW9.
Doherty faces more time in prison following a shop burglary in Germany so this could be the last show for a while. The triumphant return of his band The Libertines last summer at Reading & Leeds cemented his Indie hero status so it is definitely not one to be missed.
