The Pogues Launch 2025 World Tour with New Album, Promising to Outdrink Every City They Visit!
Legendary Celtic punk band The Pogues have thrilled fans worldwide with the announcement of a 2025 world tour, coupled with the release of their highly anticipated new album, Whiskey & Rebellion. Known for their raucous energy, poetic lyrics, and hard-drinking reputation, the band promises a return to their roots with an unforgettable mix of music and mischief.
The tour kicks off in Dublin this March before heading to major cities across Europe, North America, and Asia. It’s their first tour in over a decade, and fans can expect a nostalgic blend of classics like Fairytale of New York and Dirty Old Town, alongside fresh tracks from their new album. Early reviews of Whiskey & Rebellion describe it as “vintage Pogues,” blending Shane MacGowan’s raw vocals with a fiery fusion of traditional Irish instruments and punk rock grit.
Never ones to shy away from their reputation, the band’s press release jokingly declared their goal to “outdrink every city we visit” as a challenge to their fans. “We’ve got whiskey in our veins and songs in our hearts,” MacGowan quipped during the announcement.
Despite MacGowan’s ongoing health struggles, he’s determined to make this tour a celebration of resilience and revelry. “We’ve always been about chaos, love, and spirit,” he shared. “This tour is for everyone who’s stuck with us through thick and thin.”
Tickets for the tour are already in high demand, with pre-sales selling out within hours. If you’re a fan of music with soul, grit, and a shot of whiskey, The Pogues’ 2025 world tour promises to be an unmissable experience.
