St. Patrick’s season brings 30th anniversary shows, charity events, and hockey post-game concerts.
Dropkick Murphys are getting ready to raise some green and a little hell. The band has announced the full routing for its 2026 For The People… In The Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour, The Aggrolites and Haywire will be joining on most dates. The run kicks off February 9 in Portland, Maine, and winds down in true Boston style with the band’s annual St. Patrick’s week hometown shows on March 13, 14, 15, and 17.
Tickets go on sale Friday, October 17, at 10 a.m. local time via DropkickMurphys.com. The Boston dates — already on sale — feature rotating lineups for each night’s celebration.
This year’s Boston run doubles as a 30th-anniversary party and includes a special family-friendly mini-concert and meet & greet at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on March 14 at 2 p.m. Proceeds benefit The Claddagh Fund, the band’s charitable foundation, and every adult ticket includes free admission for up to two kids under 13.
In true working-class fashion, the band will also hit the ice for two post-game shows: March 7 with the Milwaukee Admirals and March 11 with the Springfield Thunderbirds. The Milwaukee gig is free with a hockey ticket, while Springfield fans can grab a combo game-and-show package through SpringfieldThunderbirds.com.
Ahead of the St. Paddy’s madness, Dropkick Murphys will head overseas for a European tour with Frank Turner and Haywire, kicking off October 15 in Milan, Italy.
The band’s latest album, For The People, dropped digitally on July 4 and is now available on CD and vinyl via Dummy Luck Music / Play It Again Sam, complete with five bonus tracks: “Dropped On My Head,” “Take Your Bow,” “Straight Edge (I Liked You Better),” “A Hero Among Many,” and “Sirens.”
Faithful to their roots, the Dropkicks continue to use their platform to support unions, workers’ rights, and social justice causes. They appear at picket lines nationwide and bring their punk rock spirit to every stage.
