Dropkick Murphys have never been a band that avoids confrontation. Now 30 years into their career, their latest studio album, For The People, may be their strongest statement yet. Fittingly released on July 4th of 2025, For The People sees the band standing up with 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. Why? Because they feel it’s their duty, because the moment calls for it, because this is who they are, and their values aren’t about to change with the blowing of political and cultural winds. 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.
Come sing along as they swing through Louisville on their For The People…In The Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour, (which culminates with five shows in their hometown of Boston, MA). Joining them are long-running Los Angeles reggae/ska band The Aggrolites, and hardcore band and fellow Bostonians Haywire, (a.k.a. Haywire 617), who absolutely crushed it on the Kingdom Stage at Louder Than Life last year.
Needless to say, this is going to be a hell of a show that you are not going to want to miss!
