Doherty played for nearly five hours for what was one of his longest shows ever.
During the gig he covered The Stone Roses and Neil Young and argued with a fan onstage.
The Babyshambles frontman was supported by his bandmate Adam Ficek, who played an acoustic set under his alias Roses, Kings, Castles, showcasing tracks including 'Sparkling Bootz' and 'Pretty Sue'.
Following another support slot from singer/songwriter Alan Wass, Doherty took to the stage at 10:30pm (BST) and apologised for his lateness.
"I'm sorry I'm late, but I've got a blinding excuse," he joked. "I, er, my escort died of an overdose. No, erm, I broke my crucifix, that's it!" He then played human beatbox and soundchecked by playing 'Harvest' by Neil Young.
Pete Doherty interacted with fans a great deal during the gig, stepping from the stage to chat, take song requests and pose for photos throughout the night. He took four breaks during the gig to allow fans to have cigarettes outside.
After playing 'The Ballad Of Grimaldi', Doherty hauled a fan up onstage and had a pop at him about chatting through the set.
"Do you wanna hear some tunes?" he asked the fan, who replied, "yeah, I wanna hear some tunes from you."
Doherty replied by saying, "well, all I hear is you talking about some bird!", prompting laughter from the audience.
Later in the set, after covering 'Who's Got The Crack?' by The Moldy Peaches, Doherty discussed Dirty Pretty Things – the band his former Libertines bandmates Carl Barat and Gary Powell are currently in.
"I've tried to go and see Dirty Pretty Things twice," he said, "but I got nicked on the way to both. I'd like to dedicate this song to Carlos Barat." He then played 'You're My Waterloo'.
Later in the set, Doherty was joined onstage by Wass, who played harmonica, and keyboardist Peter De Havilland, who aided the singer/guitarist in playing songs including 'Back From The Dead' and 'UnBilotitled'.
Doherty ended the gig at 3:15am (BST) solo by playing Babyshambles' 'Carry On Up The Morning' before being driven back to his Wiltshire home.

digitalspy.co.ukPete Doherty speaks out against BNP
Saturday, June 21 2008, 08:48 BST

Pete Doherty has voiced his support for an anti-BNP march across London.
The Babyshambles singer backed the Love Music Hate Racism rally, which will take place between London's City Hall and Trafalgar Square today.
"There will be no passage of evil through these isles without a proper, good struggle," he said.
"This island has always been a melting pot and personally I am 100% mongrel in the great dog stew of history.
"Bona fide scouse, London Irish, Jew, Geordie, BiloRussian. Closed borders are like closed minds. What of humanity's horizons? How infinite are they or how barricaded are they?"
He added: "Racism is upon us and let us not forget it is still within living memory that six million people died in gas chambers because of a hateful ideology."
The march opens a year-long campaign which hopes to hinder the BNP's attempts to win seats in the European, local council and city mayoral elections in 2009.
handbag.comPolice hunt for Pete Doherty’s shoes
Wanted dead or alive: Pete Doherty’s designer trainers go AWOL from charity bash.
Police are currently on the look out for the thief who heartlessly stole a pair of trainers specially designed by Pete Doherty for children's cancer charity Teenage Kicks 2008.
One unnamed Teenage Kicks 2008 organiser told Metro, "It is truly unbelievable that anyone would steal from a charity event."
Anyone else thinking that maybe Pete changed his mind and decided to keep them for himself?
Lucky You
