A vintage-style concert poster for the Irish-British folk-punk band The Pogues, promoting a performance at the Rock City venue on Talbot Street, Nottingham. The poster features a large monochrome group photograph of the band members—Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy, Jem Finer, James Fearnley, Andrew Ranken, Philip Chevron, Terry Woods, and Darryl Hunt—posed with their respective instruments including an accordion, banjo, acoustic guitar, and drums. The layout uses bold block typography typical of late 20th-century gig advertisements. The text across the top reads ROCK CITY PRESENT and THE POGUES in large distressed lettering, followed by PLUS SPECIAL GUESTS. Below the venue name and address, the date is specified as MAR 08 1988 at 8.00PM. Admission details are printed as Tickets £6.50 IN ADVANCE with a footer regarding age restrictions for the venue. The design incorporates a printed background numbering reading No 060. The entire composition features a simulated aged finish with printed foxing, stains, and creases to replicate the appearance of an original street-pasted flyer from the period.
