Sometimes a show is so sold-out that even your closest friends don’t get in, and that’s what happened Monday, 10 days before St. Patrick’s Day, when the Dropkick Murphysโ€”in full support of Ukraine, with the nation’s flag taped to the monitorsโ€”landed at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg. The Bombpops and Rumjacks warmed up a crowd already hopped up on Guinness and Irish car bombs ahead of the show. The Bombpops and Rumjacks opened the show.
