Celtic Punk Rock Legends Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly to Co-Headline KettleHouse Amphitheater
Celebrating over 20 years of mayhem, Celtic punk mainstays Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly have added a tour stop at KettleHouse Amphitheater on Sunday, September 23, 2018.
Dropkick and Flogging have already received widespread praise from fans and the media during this historic run of shows. Brooklyn Vegan called the tour, “…one hell of a double bill of Celtic punk… [June 17, 2018].” Elsewhere, Omaha World-Herald called the two bands “…collectively the pinnacle of a genre that mixes up punk rock and Irish folk, raging guitars and tin whistle, head-banging beats and bagpipes [June 11, 2018].”
