Life Is Good For Flogging Molly
Flogging Molly just docked from its annual Salty Dog Cruise and is now adding a ton of May dates to its touring schedule to get fans ready for a new album. Support for the gigs will be provided by The White Buffalo.
The new performances start in Oakland, Calif., at Fox Theater on May 4, and span most of the continent. The last scheduled North American appearance is at Bunbury Festival June 4 at Cincinnati’s Sawyer Point.
After that, the Irish-American rockers will traverse Europe from June 17 in Denmark to Sept. 5 in the Netherlands. Those gigs include festivals like Hurricane and Southside, as well as support stints with Broilers and Volbeat.
Fans can see the Floggers is at The Pool At The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas tomorrow. The group is also headlining the “Devil’s Dance Floor” celebration on St. Patrick’s Day at Forum in Inglewood, Calif. on Friday.
