Dropkick Murphys Reveal ‘St. Patrick’s Day’ Tour

Never a band to let St. Patrick’s Day go unobserved, Dropkick Murphys will launch their 2013 tour named after Ireland’s patron saint when the band rocks Cleveland’s House Of Blues in mid-Feb.

With two nights scheduled for Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and New York City, stops on the tour also include Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas, and Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), Fla.

Rolling into Boston in mid-March, the Dropkick Murphys have three nights slated for Beantown.

The party begins with the band fulfilling its longtime dream of headlining what is now called TD Garden. Promoted as “Dropkick Murphys Irish Festival” the March 15 event will include bands and attractions on two stages.

After playing Boston’s Brighton Music Hall March 16, the band will headline House Of Blues on St. Patrick’s Day March 17.
