Dropkick Murphys Live at BMO Center

Looks like this event has already taken place.

Fri, Oct 20 , 2023 • 7:00pm

300 Elm Street, Rockford, IL 61101

Come out and see Dropkick Murphys rock down the house at BMO Center!

Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, the boys have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10album debuts (2021’sTurn Up That Dial,11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out InStyle), along with2005’s gold-selling The Warrior’s Code featuring the near double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.”

Whether you caught a legendary gig at The Rathskeller (The Rat) under Kenmore Square, found the band by taking the T to Newbury Comics to cop Do Or Die in ’98, discovered them in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award-winning The Departed, or saw ‘em throw down at Coachella (or one of hundreds of other festivals), you’ve become apart of their extended family. Dropkick Murphys’ music has generated half-a-billion streams, they’ve quietly moved 8million-plus units worldwide and the band has sold out gigs on multiple continents.
