Dropkick Murphys and the band who were a pivotal influence on them, Stiff Little Fingers, join forces on June 7 for a night of unbridled mayhem in Cork. Tickets are €40.
The Live At The Marquee date is an Irish exclusive, so a road trip may be in order.
Spearheaders of the ‘70s Belfast punk scene, SLF proved that there’s still plenty of gas in the tank with 2014’s No Going Back album while the Dropkicks have become bona fide American chart superstars courtesy of their last Signed And Sealed In Blood collection.
Their finest 2mins 33secs, though, was undoubtedly their reading of Woody Guthrie’s ‘I’m Shipping Up To Boston’, which was part of the 2006 OST for The Departed.
