Legendary Anglo-Irish folk-punk band The Pogues have announced an extra London date for their upcoming winter Greatest Hits Tour following exceptional ticket demand. The band will perform at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Tuesday, 15 December 2026, expanding a schedule that covers the UK, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands.
The tour follows the success of recent anniversary shows across North America and the UK. Original band members James Fearnley, Jem Finer, and Spider Stacy will lead the lineup, performing a career-spanning setlist celebrating the influential 1980s music catalogue built by the group.
Joining the founding members on stage will be a curated ensemble of special guest musicians and vocalists, featuring prominent figures from the contemporary Irish music scene. The collaborative performances will deliver classic Pogues tracks 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."
In a joint statement, the band expressed their enthusiasm for returning to the road, noting that the overwhelming reaction to their recent anniversary performances prompted them to expand the tour and continue celebrating their body of work with international audiences.
The winter run kicks off on 28 November 2026 at the Portsmouth Guildhall, before making stops at major venues including Nottingham Rock City, Leeds O2 Academy, Birmingham O2 Academy, Manchester O2 Apollo, London O2 Academy Brixton, Newcastle O2 City Hall, and Glasgow O2 Academy, culminating in the newly added Kentish Town performance.
