Dropkick, bad religion and mainliners was amazing and me and friend got a picture with ken casey of Dropkick murphys and We were the last show on the tour they played so many songs dropkick played who will stand with us, flannigans ball, johnny we hardly knew ya, Chesterfields and aftershave, rose tattoo(my fav of there's), going out in style (song i want my "funeral" to be like when that day comes), climbing a chair to bed, then finished the show by doing an encore where they played im shipping up to Boston and We got to go up top above the band for a few dropkick Murphy songs absolutely amazing and cathartic experience

Great Show! Great Performances!! Glad to see the Murphys and Bad Religion together. And they brought an up and comer act. And a great venue!! My first time there. My only criticism is part of the sound. It was great and volume was as well. But I’m not sure if the venue is guilty or the sound crew of the band is. I was near the left side of the stage and it’s about James, one of the guitar players for Murphys. Not on him, but it seemed I couldn’t hear his guitar. At one point for a few seconds, it was him only playing. I heard it from the other side of the stage’s PA. I would b*t it’ may be on their sound crew. However, me being new to the venue, I’m simply not sure. In summary (too late! Lol) the overall sound was great overall but not complete as they play.

Title: Dropkick Murphys Brought the House Down! If you’ve never seen Dropkick Murphys live, do yourself a favor and fix that immediately. Their show was an absolute powerhouse from start to finish—pure, unfiltered energy that had the entire crowd on their feet (and some off their feet, thanks to the mosh pit). From the first note to the last, they delivered everything you’d hope for—booming bagpipes, pounding drums, and those signature anthems that make you want to raise a pint and sing at the top of your lungs. The setlist was packed with classics like Shipping Up to Boston and The State of Massachusetts, along with a few deep cuts and new bangers that fit right in. The atmosphere? Electric. The band? Flawless. The crowd? A rowdy, beer-soaked, Celtic-punk-loving family. And when they hit the encore, it was straight-up goosebumps territory. Dropkick Murphys don’t just play a show—they put on a full-blown experience. If they’re coming to a city near you, don’t miss it. Your soul (and your eardrums) will thank you.

It was great to live stream the St. Patrick's Day concert. It was a fundraiser for The Claddagh Fund which supports community-based non-profits, with a on focus programs that support children, veterans organizations and alcohol & drug rehabilitation. The band was on fire the entire 2 hours. Dropkick Murphys' energy was contagious. I'm definitely glad I follow this band and was able to see them from the comfort of my recliner. Fan For Life!!

Dropkick Murphys brought the show and Augusta brought the party! Bottle Rocket Kids reminded us of what rock and roll is all about! They got the night fired up and off to a high energy start. Dropkick Murphys shared their in your face Boston style positivity/ F Around and Find Out message of love. They even gave a shout out to the local union members that ran the stage and lights at the show!

The show was awesome! Unfortunately, I missed most of the opening band, because there had been no information about the time that doors opened. If the information was available, I did not see it. I thought I had left enough time to get into the venue for a 7 PM start, but I hadn’t considered that parking might be a bit far away, which it was. By the time I got there, the parking lot directly by the Mitsubishi Electric Halle was full, and I had to park at a lot that was about 1.5 kilometers down the road. Getting into the venue itself, also took a bit longer than anticipated, because of a lack of organization of the crowd in front of the doors. However, I don’t want to take away from a great concert evening, with three awesome bands. Parking was reasonably priced, at €10.00. The fact that it was a bit further away from the venue was also not a problem in the scheme of things. And while the organization at the door, to get into the venue, could have been a little better, that was also not a big issue. As for the show itself, Gogol Bordello, and Dropkick Murphys had an amazing energy. Both bands put on a fantastic performance. I have seen them both several times now, and every time they have delivered, leaving me with a big smile on my face afterwards. One last thing, this was my first time at this venue. I noticed that there is a streetcar stop across the street. For some people, this may be a good option to taking the car next time. I would certainly do that.

Always a brilliant show by these legends. Great songs, great show. So many songs to choose from, hard to fit all the favourites, but they played great songs. No more ladies on the stage for "Kiss me.." but I guess pandemics have put a stop to that. Fortitude Valley Music Hall is a great venue - & surrounded by pubs!! Doesn't get much better. Hopefully we'll see the mighty Murphys again before another decade passes.

The scratch were impressive for sure. Pennywise was awesome….and Fletcher did not smash every guitar on stage. The dropkicks sounded great, the guys were their happy go lucky selves, lots of crowd singing and the like. Musically they were tight as a drum….even more so than St Pattys 2024! The only gripe…and it’s kind of a big one….Ken went on his usual political rant….but right before they played Johnny I Hardly knew ya…which definitely rubbed me the wrong way. Probably would have been better served before Boys on the Docks,

The show was great and DKM did not disappoint! Getting into and out of MJN Convention Center was smooth and security was thorough. Never waited more than a minute for the bathroom (the women's room was also great per my wife). I would say the biggest complaint would be the MASSIVELY LONG lines at every bar (20 minutes for a beer?) for the entire show. Also, the acoustics of MJN are pretty horrible but I was on the floor and so close to the stage it didn't really matter. Had we been further away in the GA seats it would have been more noticeable.

Decent venue at the Moda Center...with good, but not great acoustics. Suuuuuuuuper expensive and average tasting beer...best to get your pre-funk on at a local bar beforehand. DMK brought some solid energy to the arena that was felt instantly and carried through the entire set. Bassist and lead singer, Ken Casey, did a great job interacting with fans. I will say, the loss of DMK lead singer, Al Barr, had quite an impact, however. Al provides extra depth and texture to the band that I have grown to appreciate.

This was my first time attending an event at this venue. For starters, there was street parking less than 100 yards from the entrance, and it was free, not that $10.00 for preferred parking is expensive by any means, but some people like to have options, and the way it appeared there was a lot of street parking with a short walk distance (+1). Secondly, entrance to venue was relatively quick even with scan machines and handheld wand detectors. the opening door was a little late, seemed like security was not fully prepared for the crowd. (neutral). The merch area was decent and if you got there early you could move quickly through the line, having a beer vendor in close proximity will be an added bonus for some concert goers, (+1). There were plenty of food and refreshment vendors from one end to the other, prices were average concert, food was meh at best, also, not all the food vendors were open so a wider choice of food options might have increased the ratings, (+.5). Next, the bathrooms were easily accessible, and lines moved pretty quickly, although one of the men's restrooms was blocked off and I had to walk out of the way for other amenities. Staff there were not very polite or helpful, they were quick with short answers and appeared a little assertive. (-2.5). No smoking policy is non forgiving and there are no ins and outs, each time you must buy another ticket, no designated area for those who smoke. I smoke cigars so that is not an issue as I am paying for a show, not a Cigar lounge, but those of you who smoke anything else are trapped inside. (-2). Sound system and acoustics left something to be desired. There were three bands, and all did amazing. given the other review points listed I personally would not recommend this venue, but the bands I would absolutely see again. Sorry BMO you are not for me.

It was my first time seeing The Interrupters. Their set was one of the most fun shows I've ever been to (and I've been to quite a few, over the years.) Pretty much their entire discography is nothing but 'bangers', in my opinion. Translates very well live, especially if you're inclined to move at a show. The crowd went bananas for Dropkick Murphys, and from what I could tell, the actual band was 'on point', but the audio balancing was a little unfortunate, in my opinion. To be fair, they're probably a challenging band to be in the audio booth for, with the unusual variety of instruments. The point is that those instruments are pretty key to their whole sound, and the mixing was heavy on the low end. Like, drowning out bag pipes doesn't seem like it would be easy to do, but it was an issue. For more than half the show, I could barely hear the vocals, and the mandolin was barely ever audible. Maybe being an audio snob is kind of ridiculous at a punk show, but I don't think so, for this particular band. No disrespect, though. They seem like interesting guys who have a catalog of great songs. If you just want to go scream out some great Irish Punk songs, and / or have fun in a good pit, definitely go, but if their sound is important to you, I think it might depend on the equipment and who's working the booth at each venue they play? Overall, I did have a really good time, and I'm glad I went.

I have seen the Dropkick Murphys a lot in my lifetime. Definitely a root band for me. But, last night was magical! I took my 9 year old to his first show, which happened to be one of his favorite bands! We made it to the front rail. My son, Waylon was I. Awwe! They made him an extra night! He even got a pic ! Several guitar picks and a set list! As always they sounded amazing! Show was great! Venue was awesome!

That was one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life. The audience was great, too, wow! Not even being asked they were polite, energetiic, full of energy and inspiration in response to the music. !!! They stood up and stayed standing the whole time with no effort just carried by it all. It's way beyond words. In person they are so much better, even, than the recorded music. The music was amazing. Engergizing, relaxing, just the best of what life has to offer! Orpheum Theatre is comfortable and beautiful. I feel so lucky to have been there. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The Show was AMAZING but we were upset that the other performers got to do their full set but Dropkick Murphy's got cut short because the venue shut them down due to Lightning in the area, it was our first time seeing them and we really want to see them again but there is no concerts anywhere near us. Please come back to Connecticut soon cause we are constantly checking for new dates and too see if they are coming back.

This was a great show. There were three opening acts and the one just before DKM should not have been on the bill at all. They were hard to hear and the whoever did the mixing for them was bad at it. Rum jacks were great. DKM show was the culmination of a years long quest to do with my now adult sons. Great show and totally worth the wait.

The show was great, the energy from the band was fantastic. Waited for two years for them to come back after they had to cancel for covid. They did not played their asses off. The openers were solid as well. I would love to see the Dropkick Murphys in Boston that is for sure. I b*t that energy would be intense. Glad that came and so happy that I went to the show. Cannot wait to see them again.

Played a lot off their newest album (which I really don’t know), but a good number of their older songs. Glad to hear “The State of Massachusetts” & “Black Velvet Band!” I wish they played “Forever,” “The Fields of Athenry,” & “Flannigan’s Ball.” They still sound great though! (& I saw Ken walking by the line outside as we waited to get in, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t sure it was him. Wish I had!)

I've been a longtime fan, but this was the first time that I got to see DKM live. It was a f*****g BLAST!!! I've never seen another band that cares so much about their fans. Lead singer, Ken Casey, hung out after the show to take pictures and sign autographs for whoever wanted them. Not just the select few who paid extra for it. That's unheard of today! I got my ticket signed and saw him taking pictures with people's kids and signing whatever people gave him. Great show and great guys!!!

Dropkick, bad religion and mainliners was amazing and me and friend got a picture with ken casey of Dropkick murphys and We were the last show on the tour they played so many songs dropkick played who will stand with us, flannigans ball, johnny we hardly knew ya, Chesterfields and aftershave, rose tattoo(my fav of there's), going out in style (song i want my "funeral" to be like when that day comes), climbing a chair to bed, then finished the show by doing an encore where they played im shipping up to Boston and We got to go up top above the band for a few dropkick Murphy songs absolutely amazing and cathartic experience
