For the first time in over a decade, Boston's finest punks Dropkick Murphys will headline a national run of Australian shows.
Last here in 2018 for Good Things Festival, the 'I'm Shipping Up To Boston' and 'Rose Tattoo' hitmakers will headline concerts on Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in November.The rock & roll underdogs turned champions will be joined by Chicago rock veterans Alkaline Trio (their first Australian shows in over 10 years).
"AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 – it's been six, long years and we're excited as hell to announce that we're coming back down! We'll see you in November with our friends Alkaline Trio supporting all shows!"
Led by singer-bassist (and the band's only constant member) Ken Casey, Dropkick Murphys have released 12 studio albums, their most recent being 2023's 'Okemah Rising' that features 'I Know How It Feels'.
With half-a-billion streams, Dropkick Murphys' celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard Top 10 album debuts ('Turn Up That Dial', '11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory', 'Signed And Sealed In Blood', 'Going Out In Style').
Armed with ten studio albums, Alkaline Trio have been producing their upbeat brand of pop-punk since 1996 creating such sing-along anthems as 'Mercy Me', 'Radio', 'Stupid Kid', 'Calling All Skeletons' and 'Private Eye'.
With the current line-up featuring Matt Skiba (guitar, co-vocalist) and Dan Andriano (bass, co-vocalist) joined by drummer Atom Willard (who has played with The Offspring, Against Me! and Angels & Airwaves), Alkaline Trio released their most recent record 'Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs' (their last with longtime drummer Derek Grant) at the start of 2024.
