Dropkick Murphys are an American Celtic punk band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1996.

Their best-known songs include “I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” “The State of Massachusetts” and “Rose Tattoo,” while key albums include The Warrior’s Code and The Meanest of Times.

Outside Massachusetts, Dropkick Murphys have performed at Rock am Ring in Germany and Hellfest in Clisson, France.
