Doherty will take to the stage on April 26 and fans will be able to get tickets for the show from this Saturday.

The Babyshambles star is said to be concentrating on his music career after splitting from supermodel Kate Moss and attempting to stay out of trouble with the law.

The 27-year-old is working on his debut solo album and has played several small shows over the past few months.

The musician was recently criticised for striking up a friendship with troubled star Amy Winehouse and was warned off by her father who branded him a "scumbag".
