Dropkick Murphys Announce Support Acts for Boston St. Patrick’s Day Shows

St. Patrick’s Day Hometown Shows In Boston, MA | March 13, 14, 15 & 17

Dropkick Murphys have announced the full lineup of support acts for their annual hometown run in Boston, Massachusetts, set for March 13, 14, 15, and 17. The shows will serve as the final stretch of the band’s For The People…In The Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour—and double as a celebration of Dropkick Murphys’ 30th birthday, bringing fans from around the globe to Boston for one of the band’s most storied yearly traditions.

The U.S. trek kicks off February 9 in Portland, Maine, and features The Aggrolites and Haywire as support for most dates. Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend celebration, however, comes with special nightly lineups—culminating on March 17 with a night of old-school punk rock at Citizens House of Blues.

In addition to the nightly concerts, the band will host a special family-friendly charity mini-concert and meet & greet at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on March 14 at 2:00 PM. The afternoon event benefits the band’s charitable foundation, The Claddagh Fund, and each adult ticket buyer can bring two kids under 13 for free.

Dropkick Murphys also recently announced they’ll release a 12” vinyl split LP with tourmates Haywire, titled New England Forever. The Boston-based bands—who built momentum touring Europe together last fall—each recorded three original songs plus a cover of one another’s work for the eight-song release. Haywire recorded Dropkick Murphys’ “The Boys Are Back,” while Dropkick Murphys recorded Haywire’s “Always By My Side.” New England Forever will be available exclusively at shows during the February 9–March 17 tour run.

The tour continues in support of Dropkick Murphys’ acclaimed 2025 album For The People, a record that speaks directly to the band’s long-held spirit of resistance, solidarity, and community—leaning into the grit and power of their earliest punk roots while continuing their decades-long advocacy for workers’ rights and human rights.
