THE POGUES GREATEST HITS TOUR COMES TO NEWCASTLE IN DECEMBER

SPECIAL GUEST VOCALISTS AND MUSICIANS TO JOIN THE CELEBRATION

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.

Due to high demand, they have announced an extra show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Tuesday 15 December.

This tour will see The Pogues 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.

The Pogues said: “After the incredible reaction to our recent anniversary shows, we wanted to take the celebration even further — we hope you’ll come along, it will most definitely be worth it.”
