About Dropkick Murphys
Irish American rockers 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.
As well as selling out gigs across multiple continents, Dropkick Murphys' music has generated more than half a billion streams, and they've quietly moved 8 million-plus units worldwide.
Since March 2020, IrishCentral has been delighted to feature four special live stream events hosted by Dropkick Murphys - Streaming Up From Boston St. Patrick’s Day, Streaming Outta Fenway, St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down, and Turn Up That Dial Album Release Party Free Live Stream Concert.
