In what is a dream come true for my 16-year-old self, Rancid and Dropkick Murphys are hitting the road together this summer. The From Boston To Berkeley Tour commences July 27th in Bangor, ME and includes stops in Dropkick’s hometown of Boston and Rancid’s native Berkeley (hence the tour’s title) as part of the 24-date outing.
According to a press release, each show will culminate with Rancid and Dropkick Murphys “on stage together for a joint encore.”
Better yet, Bouncing Souls will open a portion of the tour dates.
