Flogging Molly

Irish‑infused Celtic‑punk outfit Flogging Molly blends driving punk rhythms with folk instruments like fiddle and accordion, creating anthemic, toe‑stomping songs that have defined the modern folk‑punk scene for over two decades. Their live shows are famed for high‑energy performances, crowd‑singalong choruses, and a raucous bar‑room atmosphere that turns venues into communal celebrations. After a recent show that concluded on August 21, 2026, the band is focused on frontman Dave King’s recovery from a serious brain injury and is preparing to return to the stage in 2026, with a confirmed appearance slated for the Salty Dog Cruise later this year.
