Celtic punk legends The Pogues are keeping the music alive as they officially extend their highly anticipated 2025 reunion tour into 2026, thrilling fans across the globe. Following an overwhelming response to their initial dates, the band has announced a new leg of shows that will see them performing in additional cities across Europe and North America, with more dates possibly on the horizon.
Initially slated as a limited run to celebrate their storied legacy and connect with loyal fans, The Pogues’ 2025 tour sparked an unexpected surge in demand. Concerts in cities like Dublin, London, New York, and Boston sold out within hours, prompting the band to revisit their tour schedule. As a result, the extended leg will now include new stops in Berlin, Paris, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and even a long-awaited return to Glasgow, where their cult following remains as strong as ever.
Fans can expect a nostalgic and rowdy setlist featuring timeless Pogues classics like “Dirty Old Town,” “Streams of Whiskey,” “The Irish Rover,” and of course, the beloved “Fairytale of New York.” While frontman Shane MacGowan’s health has been a concern in recent years, the remaining members are crafting a tour that honors his legacy, with special guest appearances and tributes planned throughout the journey.
Tour organizers also teased possible festival appearances in the summer of 2026, hinting that The Pogues may headline at least two major European festivals. While nothing has been confirmed yet, anticipation is building fast.
Tickets for the newly announced 2026 dates go on sale next week, with pre-sales opening for fan club members this Friday. With seats sure to fill up quickly, fans are advised to act fast.
Stay tuned for more updates, full tour listings, and behind-the-scenes stories as The Pogues bring their raw energy and poetic grit back to the stage—louder and prouder than ever.
