As much a part of the festive period as fat blokes dressed up in white beards in shopping centers and getting drunk with work colleagues you wouldn't otherwise socialize with, is a Pogues tour.
For the fifth year running the band will tour the UK for a load of December dates.
The shows are at:
December
11, Glasgow Academy.

15, Manchester Central.
16, Birmingham Academy.
18-19, London Brixton Academy.
