The rocking duo of Bad Religion and the Dropkick Murphys will be co-headlining a tour this summer. This is the first time the rockers will be touring together for the Summer of Discontent tour.
Dropkick Murphys founder and lead singer Ken Casy spoke on the upcoming tour saying, “we are so fired up to spend the summer with these legends. We plan to give people a great night out when we hit their town. Gonna be a blast!!”
Tim Brennan from Dropkick Murphys added, “being able to tour with Bad Religion is such an exciting thing for us. It’s not everyday we get to rub elbows with a band that has that kind of legendary status and we are over the moon to hit the road with them.”
Bad Religion singer also spoke on the upcoming tour saying, “bringing together our two bands and our respective audiences should create an event of epic proportions. But most importantly, I look forward to the community of camaraderie and togetherness we will share with such talented fellow musicians and punk fans across the Nation. I can’t wait!”
Bad Religion’s bassist Jay Bentley added, “you know, this has been a long time coming. We’ve shared the stage at plenty of festivals with Kenny and the guys, and I am genuinely excited to hit the road with the Dropkicks, finally. Their energy is infectious, and I’m looking forward to spending the summer with them. I think it’s going to be a blast for us and our fans.”
