Pete Doherty is planning to stage a gig in his barn - after officials banned a music festival the controversial rocker's band was due to play.
Doherty's notorious group Babyshambles were booked to play at Moonfest in Wiltshire, England later this month.
But local police have stepped in and put a stop to the show - amid fears thousands of youngsters will turn up and cause mayhem.
Officers say they are "seriously concerned" about crowd safety after deciding organisers had not provided enough security workers for the event.
Superintendent Paul Williams of the Wiltshire Police says: "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."
