Get ready to raise your pint and stomp your feet because Dropkick Murphys are bringing the party to you in 2026! The iconic Celtic punk band has just announced a massive U.S. tour leading up to their highly anticipated St. Patrick’s Day residency in Boston. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just any tour—it’s a full-blown celebration of their 2025 album, For the People, complete with special performances, bonus tracks, and enough energy to shake the rafters.
The tour, aptly named the ‘For the People… In the Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour,’ kicks off on February 9th in Portland, Maine, and wraps up with a five-night extravaganza in Boston. Along the way, fans can expect electrifying shows supported by The Aggrolites and Haywire, with the latter also joining the Boston concerts at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway. And this is the part most people miss: the tour includes two unique post-game performances at American Hockey League games in Milwaukee and Springfield, blending sports and music in a way only Dropkick Murphys can.
Speaking of For the People, the band recently released the physical vinyl and CD editions of their politically charged album, complete with five bonus tracks not included in the initial digital release. These tracks add even more depth to an already powerful record, making it a must-have for any fan. Grab your copy via their website and dive into the raw, unfiltered sound that’s made Dropkick Murphys a household name.
Now, let’s talk tickets. The artist pre-sale starts October 15th at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the Live Nation pre-sale for All Access members on October 16th. General sales open up on October 17th, so mark your calendars and get ready to secure your spot in the pit. But here’s the controversial part: with such high demand, will everyone who wants to go actually get tickets? Let us know in the comments—are you planning to snag tickets, or do you think the hype is overblown?
Below is the full list of tour dates, complete with special notes for each show. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their sound, this tour promises to be an unforgettable experience. So, what are you waiting for? Will you be in the pit with Dropkick Murphys in 2026?
