Dropkick Murphy's announce March 15 & 16 shows at Boston's House of Blues as part of 2012 St. Patricks Day North American Tour
Posted on December 8, 2011
Dropkick Murphys—Boston Music Awards' 2011 "Artist of the Year" and "Live Artist of the Year"—have expanded their 2012 St. Patrick's Day North American Tour with shows at Boston's House Of Blues on March 15 and 16. A limited number of presale tickets for these two shows are available at www.dropkickmurphys.com through December 9.
Look for additional Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick's Day week hometown shows to be announced in January, including a Sunday, March 18 performance to benefit their charity The Claddagh Fund. The annual Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick's Day North American Tour—this year with Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls supporting on most shows—kicks off February 22 in Toronto and wraps with the band's second appearance at Washington, DC's ShamrockFest (March 24).
As previously announced, a deluxe digital edition of the group's critically acclaimed Going Out In Style CD—on the band-owned Born & Bred Records—was just released November 21. The package includes a companion digital release—Live From Fenway—recorded on September 8 and 9 in front of 20,000 Dropkick Murphys fans at the band's sold out headlining dates at Boston's legendary ballpark. An expanded physical version of the deluxe CD package will be released in March 2012.
Going Out In Style debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 in March and has received overwhelming praise, with USA Today declaring it "funny, moving, inspiring and, above all, entertaining." Lorraine Ali of the Los Angeles Times and Newsweek noted, "Finally a reason for America's working class to celebrate."
