IRISH BASTARD, 20 rounds later: from Beijing to Tokyo, from Lindau to London. There were many moments when the band had to pinch themselves: playing as support for their heroes The Pogues, being on tour in China several times or finding themselves still full in Tokyo between pachinko halls and karaoke bars after a full show.

"I don't like looking back, but the future excites me," says Chris. "There's no shortage of ideas. Getting something like PINTS IM POTT, our own festival, off the ground with the right people is fantastic." Many bands stay in their bubble, but not MR. IRISH BASTARD. From sold-out concerts in France to Camden Town in London and two concerts in Dublin in summer 2026. For a band from Germany with an Irish singer, this is anything but a matter of course.
