Hi everyone,

One day until the shows start and unfortunately there are absolutely no more tickets or passes left for any of the Boston shows. We apologize to everyone who may have missed out but there is nothing we can do to help you out now, we are all out!

Your best bet to get into the shows is to start listening to the local radio stations to see if you can win some of the tickets and passes they are giving away on-air:

WBOS, WAAF, WFNX, WBRU & WCYY are the stations to follow for your chance to win.

In the meantime to get you in the mood for St Paddy’s Day you can listen to “Captain Kelly’s Kitchen” taken from our new live CD & DVD “Live On Lansdowne” which will be available on Tuesday. We hope you have pre-ordered your copy through the DKM website so one of you lucky bastards can come to Ireland with us in April:

Here’s the the complete list of all our shows

Hey everybody, we’re out here on tour and everything is going great! Lots of exciting news and exciting things happenin! Just wanted to keep you in the loop…

First and foremost; the LIVE album is coming out in a few weeks on March 16th. Please remember, if you PRE-ORDER the album at DropkickMurphys.com you’ll be entered to win a trip to Ireland with the Dropkick Murphys… which is gonna be one hell of a time!

Secondly; as you all know, we started a charitable organization, the Claddagh Fund. Up until now our efforts have mainly focused on raising money in the Boston area, but we’re excited to announce that we are now taking “the show on the road,” so to speak. First, with the creation of the “Friends of the Claddagh Fund” which is a club of sorts consisting of like-minded supporters around the country and the world who have expressed interest in getting involved with the Claddagh Fund, setting up events and fund raisers in their cities. For more information on becoming a “Friend of the Claddagh Fund” please visit CladdaghFund.org.

And lastly, we have been running some fundraising events for the Claddagh Fund at many of the shows on our current tour. For a ten dollar charitable donation you’ll have the chance to win backstage passes for you and a friend to hang out with the band at a show in your town, take photos, drink our beer, etc (if you’re over 21 of course, otherwise you can have our soda)… as well as a rare, limited edition, silk-screened, autographed Dropkick Murphys Winter Classic poster that is no longer available for sale. Thanks for being the greatest fans in the world! And for helping us raise money for great causes. Hope you like the new cd/DVD, maybe we’ll see you in Dublin, Boston, or somewhere along the way!

-Dropkick Murphys

P.S. Keep an eye out for an upcoming e-mail with all the St Paddy’s Day weekend happenings including a ‘Live on Landsdowne’ CD/DVD release party / meet & greet, along with a full listing of opening acts, etc… Also, be sure to check out www.claddaghfund.org for rare DKM merchandise, such as autographed European tour posters, etc…
