Dropkick Murphys brought their 2026 “St. Patrick’s Day Tour” to the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, on Friday, February 13th, playing a career-spanning 23-song set.
The veteran Massachusetts band has been making headlines for protesting ICE and denouncing the Trump administration in recent months and years, but, for the most part, the 90-minute show was a punk-rock celebration.

Frontman Ken Casey and company got things started with “Deeds Not Words” from their 2011 album Going Out in Style, and proceeded to play such songs as “The Gang’s All Here,” “The Boys Are Back,” and “Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya.”
It wasn’t until right before the band played the new song “Who’ll Stand With Us?” from their 2025 album For the People that Casey got political, telling the crowd, “Some people are surprised Dropkick Murphys have something to say at this moment. If you got a microphone and you love this country, you better fuckin’ use it right now. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck ICE!”
Tunes like “Boys on the Docks,” “Walk Away,” and “Never Alone” followed before Casey busted out the band’s new anti-ICE anthem “Citizen I.C.E.” (a reworking of 2005’s “Citizen C.I.A.”) joined by Austin Sparkman of fellow Boston-area punk band Haywire, one of the evening’s support acts. Before and after the song, Casey led a “Fuck ICE” chant.
After ending the main set with “Rose Tattoo,” Dropkick Murphys delivered the one-two punch of “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” and “The Big Man” to wrap up a high-energy show that had the mosh pit in full swing throughout the night.
The evening also featured sets by the reggae/ska band The Aggrolites, the aforementioned Haywire, and the hardcore act Slugger.
Dropkick Murphys’ “St. Patrick’s Day Tour” continues through a five-show stand in Boston in mid-March, with tickets to the remaining dates available here. See photos, video and the setlist from the Port Chester show below.
