Dropkick Murphys - “Europe Winter 2025” - Special Guest: Gogol Bordello & The Scratch
The DROPKICK MURPHYS are proud to remain Boston’s Rock’n’Roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the guys have been making the kind of music that should be sung in packed stadiums. Their acclaimed discography includes four great consecutive Billboard Top 10 albums (‘Turn Up That Dial’, ‘11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory’, ‘Signed and Sealed in Blood’, ‘Going Out In Style’) as well as 2005’s gold-certified ‘The Warrior’s Code’, which features the double-platinum classic ‘I’m Shipping Up To Boston’.
Whether you’ve experienced a legendary concert at The Rathskeller (The Rat) beneath Kenmore Square, discovered the band while taking the Subway to Newbury Comics to see ‘Do Or Die’ in 1998, spotted them in Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning film ‘The Departed’, or seen them at Coachella (or one of hundreds of other festivals), you’ve become part of their extended family. DROPKICK MURPHYS’ music has been streamed over half a billion times, they’ve quietly sold over 8 million albums worldwide, and the band has performed sold-out concerts on multiple continents. In 2020, the band was one of the first to embrace streaming performances, starting with their virtual performance ‘Streaming Up From Boston’ on St. Patrick’s Day.
This was followed by their groundbreaking livestream, ‘Streaming Outta Fenway’, which drew over 5.9 million viewers and ranked #3 on Pollstar’s “Top 2020 Live Streams” chart. DROPKICK MURPHYS’ St. Patrick’s Day stream, ‘2021... Still Locked Down’, was #1 on Pollstar’s livestream chart for the week ending March 22, 2021, garnering over 1 million views. DROPKICK MURPHYS returned in 2022 with their first-ever all-acoustic album, ‘This Machine Still Kills Fascists’ (Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS]), and a seated theatre tour. ‘This Machine Still Kills Fascists’ - and its follow-up album, ‘Okemah Rising’ - breathe musical life into largely unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie, compiled for the band by Woody’s daughter, Nora Guthrie.
