Rancid and Dropkick Murphys Announce Co-Headlining Summer Tour From Boston to Berkeley
Rancid and Dropkick Murphys have announced their summer tour From Boston to Berkeley which is sure to be one of the most punk rock tours of 2017. You will not want to wait to buy your tickets for this as they are sure to sell out quick! The bands will be joined on tour with support from The Bouncing Souls along with Jake Burns of Stiff Little Fingers from July 27th – August 9th, and then The Selecter and Kevin Seconds from 7 Seconds from August 11th through the remainder of the tour. Rancid and Dropkick Murphys will perform together onstage each night for a joint encore.
The bands had this to say:
“Rancid is looking forward to hitting the road with our brothers the Dropkick Murphys,” says Rancid’s Tim Armstrong. “We will end the night with DKM and us playing songs together. Look out for The Bouncing Souls, The Selecter, Kevin Seconds and Jake Burns to be on certain shows. SEE YA IN THE PIT!”
Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen adds, “It’s a long time coming with these two bands touring together. There is so much history between both of us that it should make for a great tour. We look forward to seeing all of our friends and family out there.”
Dropkick Murphys’ Ken Casey comments, “This is a dream come true for Dropkick Murphys. Hopefully all the people coming to the shows will feel the same way. Rancid gave us our break – Tim signing us to his label, Lars producing our early albums…so much history and great memories. Now, literally sharing the stage together every night. This tour is going to destroy all others this summer!!!!”
