Dropkick Murphys will perform at the upcoming No Kings Boston rally, taking place March 28.

"We're happy to take part in anything that offers resistance to the horrible things that are happening in America today," says vocalist Ken Casey in a statement.

The set follows Dropkick's U.S. tour, which concluded Tuesday with their annual St. Patrick's Day concert in Boston. The show included a surprise appearance by vocalist Al Barr, who's been on hiatus from the group since 2022 for family reasons.

The tour also included a show in Minneapolis paying tribute to Alex Pretti and Renée Good, the two U.S. citizens shot and killed by federal immigration officers.
