The Pogues

Farewell Christmas Tour

The Pogues have confirmed brand new dates for the 'Farewell Christmas Tour' December 2010.

The Pogues reunite once again for an ultimate seasonal send off. They are sure to create the party atmosphere of St. Patrick's Day in December with their unique mix of traditional Irish folk, punk and classic songwriting.

The Pogues are a band of mixed Irish and English background, playing traditional Irish music with influences from punk rock and jazz, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. They reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band performed together again in 2001, though they have yet to record any new music on a major album.

The Pogues tickets are on sale now.
