Doherty, who was friends with the late singer, will cover some of Winehouse's most popular songs in memory of the star.
He is due to headline the Festival Republic stage at Leeds Festival on Friday, August 26 and will play a set at Reading Festival two days later.
"Pete was really good mates with Amy and he's still really cut up about her death," a friend told the Daily Star Sunday.
"He hopes to help get rid of his demons by dedicating his festival gigs to her memory. He loved her music and hopes he can do it justice."
Doherty recently revealed that Winehouse's death last month had left him "bewildered", adding that he was struggling to come to terms with it.
