The Pogues — artist information

From the first clang of the tin whistle, The Pogues ignite a riotous, beautiful brawl. Their live show is a gale-force whiskey dream, where punk snarl and ancient laments collide in a sweat-soaked singalong. Fists pump, bodies surge, and the air crackles with an exhilarating, defiant joy, leaving you breathless and hoarse from embracing the glorious, untamed chaos.

Genres: folk, irish, punk, folk rock.
