The Rumjacks

On 19 September 2026, The Rumjacks stopped at Club Kosmos in Szczecin, Poland, as part of their Balkans to Baltics Tour. Blending raw Celtic punk, driving folk and huge singalong moments, the band turned the club into an energetic gathering place for punks, folk fans and everyone who loves honest live music.

The show thrived on fast rhythms, distinctive choruses and a direct connection with the audience. The Rumjacks brought their stories of outsiders, long nights and solidarity to the stage with full force.

About the band The Rumjacks

The Rumjacks are among the best-known names in modern Celtic punk. Formed in Sydney in 2008, the band combines the raw energy of punk rock with traditional folk influences from Ireland and Scotland. Accordion, mandolin, tin whistle and rousing choruses meet guitars, intensity and an attitude that feels equally defiant, warm-hearted and rooted in the streets.

The Rumjacks became internationally known above all through the song An Irish Pub Song, whose catchy chorus gained attention far beyond the scene. Albums such as Gangs of New Holland, Sober & Godless, Sleepin' Rough, Hestia and Brass for Gold demonstrate how versatile the band is in developing its sound between pub anthem, working-class punk and melancholic folk.

From a concert photographer's perspective, The Rumjacks are a band made for intense images: plenty of movement, immediate emotion and an audience that carries every chorus right back to the stage. Their concerts rarely feel like a mere sequence of songs, but rather like a shared ritual of sweat, voices and raised glasses.
