Pete Doherty's home show

Thursday, 21 August 2008

Pete Doherty may perform for fans in his own home.

The Babyshambles singer is considering inviting people to his house for a private concert after police forced them to scrap an appearance at the Moonfest festival in Wiltshire later this month.

The band are said to be furious at the decision, and Pete's manager Andy Boyd said: "We might even do it at Pete's house in a big barn. We're definitely going to honour those tickets somehow, but as far as the festival goes our hands are tied.

"Babyshambles have played about 25 festivals this year. They've been playing festivals all summer, what's the difference with this one?"

Moonfest organisers have now cancelled the three-day event

Organiser John Green blamed the police for the cancellation. He said it was "due to the ramifications presented to us by the actions of the police" that the decision had to be made.

Police put a stop to Babyshambles' appearance as they feared their performance could cause trouble due to the nature of their fans.

Superintendent Paul Williams of the Wiltshire Police said: "The issue is not the act itself, it is the profile of fans that follow the act. Wiltshire police do not have an issue with Pete Doherty or Babyshambles."
