Dropkick Murphys Take Aim at Trump and Musk During Sold-Out Boston Show
Celtic punk legends Dropkick Murphys turned their St. Patrick’s Day weekend performance into a fiery political statement, mocking former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk in front of a sold-out crowd at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on March 15. Frontman Ken Casey zeroed in on a fan waving an all-black MAGA hat—linked to Musk—calling it the “true Nazi edition” and slamming the attendee for holding it up all night. “This is America, there’s no kings here,” Casey declared to roaring applause, before dedicating a song about their Nazi-fighting ancestors to the moment, telling the fan to “shut the f*** up for five minutes.”
The incident, captured in viral clips across social media, underscores the band’s long-standing disdain for Trump and his supporters. Earlier this month, Casey made headlines in Clearwater, Florida, winning a bet that a fan’s MAGA gear wasn’t American-made—revealing it was from Nicaragua. True to their working-class roots, the Dropkick Murphys doubled down on their pro-union stance, with Casey emphasizing their commitment to “stand with the people” over pleasing everyone. The Boston show, part of their annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration, has fueled online chatter, with fans hailing the band’s unapologetic grit as a highlight of the weekend’s festivities.
