Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the boys have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally.

Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts (Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s Certified-Gold album The Warrior’s Code featuring the double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.”

Whether you caught a legendary gig at The Rathskeller (The Rat) under Kenmore Square, found the band by taking the T to Newbury Comics to cop Do Or Die in ’98, discovered them in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award winning The Departed, or saw ‘em throw down at Coachella (or one of hundreds of other festivals), you’ve become a part of their extended family.

Dropkick Murphys’ music has generated half a billion streams, they’ve quietly moved 8 million-plus units worldwide, and the band has sold out gigs on multiple continents.

The Aggrolites

Discover The Aggrolites. A reggae/ska band known for a "dirty reggae" sound that blends Jamaican reggae with soul and grit.

Haywire

A hardcore rock band will get the night going when Dropkick brings their Boston buddies, "Haywire," along with them on the tour.

The Rust Belt

Dropkick Murphys, For The People...In The Pit - St. Patrick's Day 2026 Tour. Get ready to have a pint, a shot, and get your tickets here.
