Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys have just released a new single and video from their powerful and poignant For The People album. Following the success of early track “Who’ll Stand With Us?,” a call to stand together against divisiveness and inequality, the new single and video for  “Chesterfields And Aftershave” pay tribute to singer and founder Ken Casey’s late grandfather who was an important role model in his life.

 

Dropkick Murphys are returning to their roots to celebrate the July 4 release of their 13th studio album, For The People.

 

The band invites fans from around New England and elsewhere to join them at the free For The People Album Release Show on Saturday, July 12 in Quincy, Massachusetts, where the band formed in 1996. This free hometown event is in connection with the Quincy400, celebrating the 400th year of the city’s settlement.

 

Dropkick Murphys’ new album For The People shows courage and confidence, speaking up against the injustices happening in the United States, doing so with the strength and power that harkens back to Dropkick Murphys’ earliest punk rock roots. For The People is more than a title. It’s a heartfelt stance, a declaration of who this band is—and who they’ve always been.

 

Organizers of the upcoming Unite for Veterans, Unite for America rally are proud to announce that acclaimed Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys will join forces with veterans and their allies on the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 2025, for a historic performance on the National Mall.

The band will headline the rally, delivering a high-energy set to support thousands of veterans protesting deep cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the federal workforce — where veterans make up nearly one-third of all employees.

Single day band lineups have been announced for Punk In The Park Denver, July 18-20 at National Western Stockyards in Denver, Colorado.

The biggest Punk In The Park event to date will feature performances from over 40 bands on two stages, with no overlapping set times.

Dropkick Murphys recently wrapped their acoustic journey with Woody Guthrie to get back to raucous, electric performances, and are now capping that chapter off with a new documentary--This Machine Rising—a movie about working class music.

After two pandemic years off, Boston Calling returned to the Harvard Athletic Complex in 2022. Building off of last year’s success, the festival continues to grow even bigger in 2023. On a mild sunny afternoon, tens of thousands of people descended upon Boston on Friday, for the first day of the event.

Dropkick Murphys put down their acoustic guitars and return to the road this fall for a run of full electric shows joined by The Interrupters and opener Jesse Ahern. The tour kicks off September 27 at the Maine Savings Amphitheatre in Bangor, Maine. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday, May 19 at 10:00 AM local time at www.dropkickmurphys.com and wearetheinterrupters.com.
