The celebration of one of the most influential songbooks in music history is headed back to the stage. Following the overwhelming success of their recent anniversary dates, The Pogues have officially announced a sprawling Greatest Hits Tour for November and December 2026. Fans looking to secure their spot for this winter tradition can act now, as presale tickets are officially available starting today
here.
A Riotous Celebration of a Legacy
The tour will see the band traverse Germany, The Netherlands, the UK, and Ireland, bringing a setlist packed with the "bawdy, riotous bangers" and "desolate howls of love" that defined a generation. Led by original members James Fearnley, Jem Finer, and Spider Stacy, the group is set to prove that the fire and joy of their music remains undiminished.
This run promises to be a career-spanning journey through the maelstrom of 1980s creativity. Fans can expect definitive performances of classics including “Fairytale of New York,” “Dirty Old Town,” “A Pair of Brown Eyes,” “Rainy Night in Soho,” and “If I Should Fall From Grace With God.”
Special Guests and New Generations
In keeping with the band’s commitment to evolving the tradition, the original trio will be joined by a "superlative collection" of guest musicians and vocalists. This lineup features the cream of the current generation of Irish artists—musicians who have spent the last few years reimagining traditional forms and are now ready to infuse The Pogues’ repertoire with fresh energy.
"After the incredible reaction to our recent anniversary shows, we wanted to take the celebration even further," the band said in a statement. "We hope you’ll come along; it will most definitely be worth it."
