Dropkick Murphys have announced their 2023 run of St. Patrick’s Day week hometown shows in Boston, including March 17 and 18 at the new MGM Music Hall at Fenway and a March 19 show at House Of Blues Boston. Coming off their first acoustic tour in support of their very special and powerful This Machine Still Kills Fascists album, the band will once again strap on their electric guitars for a full-throttle rock tour which culminates with the St. Patrick’s Day week hometown shows. Very Special guests Turnpike Troubadours join Dropkick Murphys for both shows at MGM Music Hall at Fenway and The Rumjacks and Jesse Ahern each open two shows. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 23 at 10:00 AM ET via Ticketmaster and at www.DropkickMurphys.com.
Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker – who hails from Woody Guthrie’s hometown of Okemah, Oklahoma – also appears as a guest vocalist on Dropkick Murphys’ forthcoming This Machine Still Kills Fascists, trading lines with DKM’s Ken Casey on “The Last One.”
Lineups for the Boston St. Patrick’s Day week shows are as follows:
Friday, March 17 at MGM Music Hall: Dropkick Murphys, Turnpike Troubadours, The Rumjacks
Saturday, March 18 at MGM Music Hall: Dropkick Murphys, Turnpike Troubadours, Jesse Ahern
Sunday, March 19 at House Of Blues: Dropkick Murphys, The Rumjacks, Jesse Ahern
This Machine Still Kills Fascists will be released digitally and on CD September 30 via the band’s Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS], with a special edition vinyl out November 11. TMSKF is unlike anything Dropkick Murphys have done to date: A full album of songs that bring Woody Guthrie’s words to life. Not a tribute album or a collection of covers, This Machine Still Kills Fascists is a collaboration between Dropkick Murphys and Woody Guthrie – artists separated by time and space, but connected by a common philosophy – to create something entirely new. The album’s first single, “Two 6’s Upside Down,” is currently at #11 and climbing on the Americana radio single chart.
Next month, Dropkick Murphys will launch their first-ever reserved seating theater tour – This Machine...Theater Tour – October 20 in support of this very special and powerful acoustic album. Jaime Wyatt will be the main support on this U.S. tour – as well as joining DKM on stage for the duet "Never Git Drunk No More" – and Jesse Ahern will open the shows. Dropkick Murphys’ fall tour dates also include a headlining slot at Punk In The Park in Orange County, CA in November.

About Dropkick Murphys:
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 (2021’s Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s gold-selling The Warrior’s Code featuring the near 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. In 2020, the band was one of the first to embrace streaming performances, starting with their Streaming Up From Boston St. Patrick’s Day virtual performance. It was followed by last year’s landmark Streaming Outta Fenway livestream, which drew more than 5.9 million viewers and held the #3 spot on Pollstar’s “Top 2020 Livestreams” 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, logging over 1 million views. Dropkick Murphys return September 30 with their first-ever all-acoustic album, This Machine Still Kills Fascists (Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS]), followed by their first-ever seated theater tour kicking off in late October. This Machine Still Kills Fascists breathes musical life into mostly unpublished lyrics by the legendary Woody Guthrie, curated for the band by Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie.
