Dropkick Murphys have announced a free Minneapolis acoustic concert/fundraiser playing tribute to Alex Pretti and Renée Good.
The show is set for March 6th at 1 p.m. near the site where Alex Pretti was killed by ICE agents near Eat Street, which has become a site of tribute and mourning for the Minneapolis community. Dropkick Murphys will perform an acoustic set before their full concert later that night in St. Paul, and other local artists are set to perform, as well.

“We are so proud of how Minnesota stood up and met this moment and we are so sad for the community and for the Pretti and Good families for what they’ve gone through, so it is an honor to come down and be able to play some music for the people and let them know we stand in solidarity with them,” said Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey in a press release.
Casey and the band have been outspoken against ICE, recently re-working an older song into the protest anthem “Citizen I.C.E.,” an inclusion on a new split EP. Casey was also seen protesting in Boston alongside labor unions shortly after the death of Pretti.
The band’s stop in Minneapolis comes near the end of its US tour, which culminates with a St. Patrick’s Day residency in Boston, with tickets available here. See our review and photo gallery of their recent show in Port Chester, New York.
