Dropkick Murphys Announce St Patty’s Day Livestream

As they do every year, the members of Dropkick Murphys will be hosting a St. Patrick’s Day concert this year — only this year, it will be virtual.

The band has announced the “Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021: Still Locked Down” will stream live on Wednesday, March 17th. The concert will be performed “on an arena-sized stage with a full LED screen and a brand new video show,” a statement released by the band reveals. Several songs from the Dropkick Murphys’ upcoming album will be included in the show, the band says.

The cost to watch the show: Whatever you can afford, says Dropkick Murphys founder Ken Casey. “Instead of charging for tickets, we’re going to ‘pass the virtual hat’ so you can donate what you’d like to help support us in our efforts to keep paying our employees,” he says. The concert will be available at www.DKMstream.com.
