Dropkick Murphys - Streaming Outta Fenway

Boston punks, Dropkick Murphys, have announced a livestream performance that should prove massive because not only will they be playing live from Fenway Park, they’ll be joined via video by Bruce Springsteen.

The digital concert, aptly called Streaming Outta Fenway, will go down Friday, May 29th at 6:00 p.m. EDT (11pm BST). Dropkick Murphys themselves will appear live from an empty Fenway Park, marking “the first - and possibly only - time that a band plays on the baseball diamond.”

As a press release notes, “the infield dirt is considered ‘sacred ground’ to baseball fans, but with the baseball season on hold because of COVID-19, an exception has been made for the beloved Boston band.” The event also marks the first music performance without an in-person audience at a major U.S. arena, stadium or ballpark.

After playing one of their own songs, Dropkick will be joined remotely by Springsteen for a collaborative performance of The Boss’ music. Springsteen previously made history at Fenway Park back in 2003 when he became the first musician to perform a ballpark-wide concert at the hallowed venue.

During the livestream, viewers will be encouraged to donate to three charities: the Boston Resiliency Fund, Feeding America, and Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston.
