Celtic folk-punk favorites The Pogues will embark on a short run of European dates later this summer, culminating with a pair of back-to-back concerts in Paris this September that are being billed as a 30th anniversary celebration that the band has announced will be filmed and recorded for both a future live CD and DVD release.
The Pogues — Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy, Jem Finer, James Fearnley, Andrew Ranken, Philip Chevron, Terry Woods and Darryl Hunt — currently are playing six August dates, with shows planned in the U.K., Germany and Hungary, followed by the two Paris gigs on Sept. 11 and 12.
