Eight in the evening at the end of the year isn't a pretty place to be in the northern hemisphere...
Our Irish promoter booked these shows for us in December 2006 before we had even made the initial decision
not to do the Christmas tour. But even now, with the tour possibly back in contention, these dates are only provisional. In fact, we're trying, if possible, to move Dublin to the start of the tour, in an attempt to fend off the routine complaint from non-Dublin fans that travel is problematic so close to Christmas.
The reason it's the RDS Main Hall (ie not outdoors) instead of the the Point is that the Point will be closed for renovation.
But hey guys, try not telling us where we are and aren't playing. I understand it's tempting to believe anything that appears on teh interwebs, but the only Pogues information that can reasonably be considered accurate and confirmed will always be on the front page of Medusa first.
