Welcome!

It's a bit early to make travel plans, but if you stick around here the serious inquiries will begin in another 10 or 11 weeks or so, and your answer will follow in due time. After much teasing.

I don't know, there are usually rumours going round these parts by now. Here's hoping anyway, fingers crossed etc.

I'm not expecting any Christmas UK Tour this year, I don’t tknow why I've just got a feeling there wont be one.

Hope im wrong like.

Manc last year was, in my opinion the best i've seen the Pogues and in particular Shane. I still dont like the big fook off venue with the high roof etc but it was better than the MEN.There is nothing on Saturday 13th of December either at the Manchester Evening News arena or Manchester Central yet this year on closer inspection of the listings

Coldplay, Elton John and James are on before and after tho

I agree, the train station was excellent. Up there among my favourites along with Dublin the year before and the Carousel in the 80s.

Last years tour date for the UK and Ireland were announced around 20th Aug, so a good 2 months yet.
But it would be nice of Philip to give us a hint that there will be an xmas tour

I certainly hope for a Christmas tour, as the gig in Glasgow last year was the best thing I've ever witnessed, hands down.
Bringing friends as well of course, that haven't seen them before.

I'll keep my fingers crossed through August then

I do hope there will be Pogues gigs for us to look forward to again in the UK this year. I hope we can go to two this year because after going to one, we just want to go back for more, doesn't have to be Christmas, or even our usual venue Brixton, it would just be great to see them (still gutted about missing the signing in Dublin by one day )

Totally agree, I was at that gig as well and it was fantastic. Hopefully we'll get another show this year, I'm seeing them in a fortnight though so that'll keep me going for a while

I'm hoping for a Christmas tour this year as well, as I missed the last one due to being indecisive.

i missed the last one as well as the baby was due round about then and i didnt want to be too far from home. Heres hoping for some winter shows this year.

Anyone know if they are playing brixton this year how about getting the imperial vipers as support really cool band
