The Pogues are returning for a brief stint in the UK in December and will be playing Rum, Sodomy & the Lash in its entirety plus some other favorites! If you’re a fan, better book those tickets to England fast! Wish I was going to be there but can’t afford 2 Europe trips a few months apart.

Tickets go on general sale at 9:30am this Friday September 27th, but their loyal followers can get tickets up to 48 hours prior to these shows from 9:30am Wednesday via Gigs and Tours. You can also buy tickets through TicketBastard.

Last month, some of the Pogues and many other guests paid tribute in Ireland to guitarist/vocalist Phil Chevron since he’s ailing from cancer. I’d imagine Philip is going to be sitting this one out like he has in the past for some reunited gigs. I wonder if Cait will play this tour since she was on that album?
