The Libertines鈥� Peter Doherty is Vernon's first Tracks Of My Years guest of 2025!

Peter is best known for being co-frontman of The Libertines and founder of Babyshambles. The Libertines formed in 1997 and released their debut album, 鈥楿p The Bracket鈥�, in 2002. Their self-titled second album reached the top of the UK charts two years later, but they disbanded soon after. Their next album wasn鈥檛 released until 2015, and that was followed by another long wait for fans until 鈥楢ll Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade鈥� dropped in 2024.

The Libertines were one of the stars of Radio 2鈥檚 Piano Room Month last year, and now Peter has a new solo album on the way and will be on tour across the UK and Europe from March to May.
