Dropkick Murphys and Rancid Coming to Grand Rapids
This May, Dropkick Murphys and Rancid will hit the road together for the first time since 2017, for the co-headlining Boston To Berkeley II Tour -- and they're coming to Grand Rapids!
They'll play the DeltaPlex May 18.
Tickets are on sale now here.
Dropkick Murphys and Rancid will be joined by Jesse Ahearn in Grand Rapids. The show will culminate with Dropkick Murphys and Rancid on stage together for a joint encore.
The two bands go way back. Back in 1997, Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen came across a copy of Dropkick Murphys’ original EP at a friend's house. He turned it over to his bandmate and Hellcat Records president Tim Armstrong, who quickly snatched up the band for his new label.
