From Babybear:
This is an exclusive presale link for Peter’ solo shows. At 9am Wednesday all shows will go active on here. Tickets do not go on general sale until 9am Friday.
Plus! The title of the solo album has also been announced. From NME.com:
"The record, which is now set to be released on March 16, is called 'Grace/Wastelands'. A single, 'Last Of The English Roses', is released on March 9.'Grace/Wastelands' features guest appearances from Blur's Graham Coxon, Dot Allison and Doherty's Babyshambles bandmates. Speaking of Coxon's involvement, Doherty said in a statement: "I remember when I was about 15 and still listened to Pet Shop Boys and Chas & Dave, and some lad at school who was a bit of a mod lent me a Blur tape and it had on it a song called 'Bank Holiday. I was like, 'What's this?' I said to him, 'I liked that tape but that one song, it's a bit fast.' And he said, 'Yeah, it's punk. It depends what mood you're in.' "And then something sort of clicked in me. I've always liked Coxon, it seems, and I don't know why." He added: "I was absolutely horrified when he said he was actually a fan of some of the things I've done."
