For the first time in 14 years, the Pogues will tour North America. Surviving members James Fearnley, Jem Finer, and Spider Stacy have added a run of U.S. and Canadian shows to the 40th anniversary tour for Rum Sodomy & the Lash. They’ll be playing the classic 1985 album—along with assorted fan favorites—accompanied by special guests including Nadine Shah, John Francis Flynn, and members of Lankum and the Bad Seeds.

The Pogues will kick off the previously announced UK leg of the tour on May 1 at O2 Academy Leeds. Their North American shows will take place between September 5 and 17, with stops in Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, and New York. Last year, Fearnley, Finer, and Stacy gave the anniversary treatment to 1994’s Red Roses for Me in their first live performances since the 2023 death of frontman Shane MacGowan.
