British Indie Romantic Premieres At Zappa Barka

London bohemian, romantic and one of the most distinctive voices of the British indie scene, Pete Doherty will perform in Belgrade on May 7, 2026, at Zappa Barka as part of the European From the Baltic to the Bosphorus tour.

Pete Doherty will perform in the region for the very first time in May 2026 through two exclusive concerts organized by Hangtime – in Zagreb and Belgrade. The Belgrade show at Zappa Barka will be a unique opportunity to experience him live in an intimate club setting.

His artistic journey, shaped by fragile ballads, raw rock’n’roll and a life lived on the edge, has long been part of 21st century pop culture history. Doherty has a rare charisma audiences want to experience up close. This will not be a concert you simply listen to over a drink.


The Songwriter Who Defined A British Indie Era

He rose to wider recognition in the early 2000s as co-founder and frontman of The Libertines. The band reshaped the British rock scene with raw energy and strong poetic identity.

After The Libertines’ success, he formed Babyshambles. This further established him as one of the most intriguing British songwriters of his generation.

His songwriting blends punk heritage, romantic poetry and everyday London urban life. Many songs feel like musical diary entries, allowing audiences to connect deeply with his lyrics and emotions.


Life Between The UK And France

Doherty’s life, marked by personal struggles and turbulent periods, has often been covered by the media. Despite this, his creativity has remained strong.

In recent years, he has divided his time between the United Kingdom and France. There he continues to write, record and perform.

His personal and artistic journey was documented in the film Stranger in My Own Skin (2023). The film offers a rare and honest insight into his world. It was directed by Katia de Vidas, his partner and wife.


Pete Doherty Live – Between Intimacy And Rock’n’Roll

On stage, Doherty moves between delicate ballads, spontaneous improvisations and raw rock energy. His voice carries traces of life’s highs and lows. This gives his concerts strong authenticity.
