Pete Doherty to return to Babyshambles touring in December

Pete Doherty is set to return to action with his band Babyshambles this December, with the four-piece announcing a new UK tour.

The singer/guitarist released a solo album, 'Grace/Wastelands', earlier this year, and has been gigging under his own name. Although the band have played one-off gigs in 2009, this will be Babyshambles' first UK tour of the year.

Pete Doherty recently revealed that he plans to play festivals in 2010 with his old band The Libertines as soon as his former band-mate Carl Barat signs up.

Doherty will play solo at the V Festival this weekend (August 22-23).

Babyshambles will play:

Sheffield O2 Academy (December 10)
Cardiff University (12)
Bath Pavilion (13)
Liverpool O2 Academy (14)
Southampton Guildhall (15)
Birmingham O2 Academy (19)
Nottingham Rock City (20)
