The Fairytale of the – A Tribute By The Rapparees
Location: The Garage
The Fairytale of the Pogues is a tribute by the Rapparees. Coming to Glasgow’s The Garage on 19th December 2025.
Attention Glasgow Pogues fans! The Rapparees take over The Garage, Glasgow on Friday 19th December 2025 with their much-loved festive tribute to Shane MacGowan & The Pogues, celebrating 11 consecutive years of sell-out shows.
Lifelong fans of The Pogues, The Rapparees cut their teeth sharing stages with the band and have spent over a decade bringing their music to life in the annual Fairytale of the Pogues tour across Ireland, the UK and Europe. Their performances capture not just the songs, but the spirit, energy, and atmosphere of The Pogues at their very best.
Since the passing of iconic frontman Shane MacGowan in 2013, the tribute has taken on even greater meaning — keeping his music and legacy alive for old and new generations alike. Expect a raucous setlist that swings from Streams of Whiskey and Sally MacLennane to Fiesta and, of course, Fairytale of New York.
For anyone seeking a festive folk celebration of the greatest folk-punk band of all time, The Garage is the place to be.
