Following on from the success of their UK and Irish shows before Christmas, The Pogues have lined up a series of high profile Japanese shows for the summer.

Having limbered up on July 27 at the Shibuya, Tokyo, the lads travel to the Mother Hall, Osaka (28) and the Fuji Rock Festival ((29) where they’re appearing alongside the likes of Go! Team, The Black Velvets, Beck and Foo Fighters.
