The Antwerp gig was awesome! What a party! They even played "Hello Kitty" (according to some Dutchman).

Antwerp gig was great. for me one of the best poguetry experiences ever only beaten by the Glasgowshows with Cait O'Riordan I catched.

Truly thankful to band and crowd to make it one of those nights!

I confirme : show @ Rivierenhof Antwerp( Deurne) was AWESOME

Shane in top condition
Last show n Belgium (Dranouter August 2010) was very disappointed but here the guys
and the place was a lovely open-air theatre, and good mood in the audience.
We always hope new stuff or a different set list (for a fan who have already seen 15 Pogues gigs) but it's an already opened discussion.

The only other inconveniences were a boring open act and a late timing (9.45pm) for people who have to go back home and work the day after

But it's one of the best performances i've seen from the Pogues

The onstage time was beyond our control (the promoter decides these things) but I kinda liked the opening band. I hope they'll forgive me if I fail in my attempt at their name. Donkeyboni.

Just got home from seeing the Amsterdam and Antwerp gigs and what everyone has been saying is spot on - The Pogues were absolutely on fire at these shows. I always have reservations about outdoor shows but last night that place in the forest was great - a proper outdoor auditorium - which was a really good size and you still didnt feel distanced from the band.

Thank you to the The Pogues for these amazing shows - I only wished I could have got to the German ones too.

See you in Greenwich

It was the first time for me to see The Pogues yesterday, and I loved it!
So glad to have been there, and seen all of them in great shape.
Thank you so much for the great concert, and hope to see you performing again soon!

I think there will be a new album soon and this journalist knows all about it! It contains songs like "Freeborn man of the USA" and "Sally McLaghlan". I really can't wait to hear it!!!
