Surviving members of The Pogues announce 40th anniversary UK tour of classic album Rum Sodomy & the Lash. Original members James Fearnley, Jem Finer and Spider Stacy will kick off the tour, with the help of yet-to-be-announced guests, on their final date since Shane MacGowan's death last year.
Performances begin in Leeds in May 2025 before heading to Birmingham, London, Manchester and Newcastle. The band said in a statement, “After the raucous bash that was the 40th anniversary of our first record, Red roses for mein 2024, we wanted to do it again, but with Rum Sodomy & the Lash.”
