About the show
Following the success of the anniversary tours of the UK and North America, The Pogues are going back on the road this coming winter with dates across Germany, The Netherlands as well as the UK and Ireland in 2026.
This time they are playing all the favourites - the bawdy, riotous bangers, the desolate howls of loss and love, and always, always, the laughing of the human heart no matter what shadows might hang over us.
Original members James Fearnley, Jem Finer and Spider Stacy will lead the charge, and will once again be joined by their usual superlative collection of special guest musicians and singers, among them the cream of the current generation of Irish artists, whose reimagining of traditional forms has provided some of the most extraordinary music of the last few years.
Together, they are going to take The Pogues songbook, one of the most influential and inspiring bodies of work to have emerged from that maelstrom of creativity that was the 1980s and infuse it with all the fire and joy it deserves, including “Fairytale of New York,” “Dirty Old Town,” “A Pair of Brown Eyes,” “Rainy Night in Soho,” “If I Should Fall From Grace With God,” and many more.
Featuring
The Pogues
By demonstrating that the spirit of punk could live in traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues were one of the most radical bands of the mid-80s. Famed for their wild and exciting live acts, lead singer Shane MacGowan's relentless drug and alcohol abuse meant the cult Irish folk punksters were forced to disband in the mid 90s. They reunited in 2001 and performed across the world on and off until 2014 when they took another hiatus. Following the death of Shane MacGowan in 2023, the surviving members reunited for a handful of tribute shows before announcing in late 2024 that they would head out on tour again with original members James Fearnley, Jem Finer, and Spider Stacy along with special guests.
