Dropkick Murphys 2026 Tour Announcement – For the People…In the Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour Schedule

Dropkick Murphys are charging back into the pit in 2026 with their “For the People…In the Pit St. Patrick’s Day Tour,” complete with support from Haywire and The Aggrolites. The trek kicks off February 9 in Portland, ME, winding through major stops like Pittsburgh, Dallas, Charlotte, and Chicago, before culminating in a hometown St. Patrick’s Day run in Boston.

Is anyone actually surprised that they’re ending in Massachussetts? “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” is one of the most popular Dropkick Murphy songs, ever, and the ultimate crowd-pleaser to all those lucky enough to hear it live. Therefore, it’s fitting that the band will host a five-show residency March 13–15 at Fenway (including a family-friendly 2 p.m. mini-concert on March 14 benefitting their Claddagh Fund) before capping things off March 17 with a show at Citizens House of Blues.

As for the rest of the 2026 Dropkick Murphys tour? Chaotic, cultural, and chock full of Irish anthems and cold beer… just like we’ve learned to expect over the past three decades. Their working-class anthems — including “Rose Tattoo,” “The Boys Are Back,” and “The Season’s Upon Us” — bring party energy to every city on their annual St. Patrick’s Day track. They also just released their thirteenth album, For the People, this month, so you’ll get treated to some all-new Irish tunes!

The record marks the partial return of longtime singer Al Barr on one track (he’s been on hiatus) and doubles as a political and social call to action. Just ask lead singer Ken Casey, who wasn’t shy about the record’s themes. “We’ve always had the same message and haven’t been afraid to speak out about what’s important to us,” he says. “But for me now, I think about my kids’ future, and the next generation. That could be anything from speaking out against injustices, or just simply making sure you take the time to tell the people close to you how important they are to you.”

Indeed, a Dropkick Murphys concert is a connective occasion where strangers make friends, and the rest of us turn to our friends and express “I love you!” over green beer. It’s just the Irish way, and these cultural staples can’t wait to see you in the pit. Get your verified resale tickets to the 2026 Dropkick Murphys tour now!
