The Pogues Announce Third London Show To Christmas Tour & Tickets

Due to popular demand The Pogues have announced a third London show to their annual Christmas tour.
Demonstrating that the spirit of punk could thrive within traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues are famed for their fiery and potent live performances. Never the most predictable of groups, the band shuddered to a halt in the early-90s following lead singer Shane MacGowan’s relentless drug and alcohol abuse. Falling from triumph to tragedy the Pogues were remembered for their inspirational music and classic song-writing.
Revisiting the live stage due to popular demand, the Pogues returned! Reformed with the ever-charismatic Shane MacGowan back on board, the band are still on the road belting out some of the most uplifting music you will ever hear some 20 years since their inception.
Announcing their 2010 Christmas tour back in September, The Pogues December shows have been synonymous with Christmas since they started eight years ago. As much a part of Christmas as turkey and stuffing; The Pogues reunite once again for an ultimate seasonal send off. Due to popular demand The Pogues have added a third date at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on Wednesday 22nd December.
Only a Pogues gig can create the party atmosphere of St. Patrick’s Day in December with their unique mix of traditional Irish folk, punk and classic songwriting.
Reunited once again at Christmas for the final time, The Pogues will be performing live at:
Mon 13 December 2010 - O2 Academy Glasgow
Tue 14 December 2010 - O2 Academy Newcastle
Thu 16 December 2010 - O2 Academy Sheffield
Fri 17 December 2010 - Manchester Apollo
Sat 18 December 2010 - O2 Academy Birmingham
Mon 20 December 2010 - O2 Academy Brixton
