With Special Guests The Wran & Maicín
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 Ireland, the UK, Germany and The Netherlands in 2026.
The Pogues plus a host very special guests bring their Greatest Hits Tour 2026 to 3Arena Dublin on 9th December, The Telegraph Building Belfast on 10th December and Gleneagle Arena Killarney on 12th December.
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.
Special guest vocalists and musicians joining The Pogues are: Holly Mullineaux (Bass),
Darragh Lynch (Guitar - Lankum), Jordan O’Leary (Banjo), Fiachra Meek (Pipes/Whistles - Alfi),
Jim Sclavunos (Drums – The Bad seeds), Iona Zajac (Vocals - Harp), John Francis Flynn (Vocalist, Multi-instrumentalist) and Lisa O’Neill (Vocals).
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.”
