Dropkick Murphys Confront Fan Over MAGA Hat at Boston Concert

Frontman Ken Casey criticized the attendee for holding up the hat throughout the show, calling it a symbol of a 'cult' and reaffirming the band's stance on workers' rights and anti-fascism.

  • During a St. Patrick's Day concert in Boston, Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys called out a fan for prominently displaying a MAGA hat throughout the performance.
  • Casey referred to the black MAGA hat as the 'true Nazi edition' and criticized its symbolism, stating, 'This is America, there’s no kings here.'
  • The band has a history of challenging audience members wearing pro-Trump merchandise, including a recent incident in Florida where Casey wagered a fan's MAGA hat was not made in the United States.
  • The frontman emphasized that the band's outspoken political stance aligns with supporting workers and opposing what he described as scams by elites and billionaires.
  • The band's anti-MAGA rhetoric has previously led to death threats, but Casey maintains their commitment to standing 'with the people' and opposing authoritarianism.
