Dropkick Murphys to Perform at Fenway Park, Mighty Mighty Bosstones to Open

The Dropkick Murphys will perform at Fenway Park on Sept. 8 and 9 pending city approval, the Boston Red Sox announced Tuesday.

Ska-punk band Mighty Mighty Bosstones will open for the Dropkick Murphys, according to the news release.

A portion of the proceeds benefits the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund to support families of victims of Sept. 11.

Fans with disabilities may also call (877) RED-SOX9 to purchase accessible seating, and hearing-impaired fans may call (617) 226-6644 for the Red Sox' TTY number.

Bassist Ken Casey talked about the concert and other topics Tuesday on the Dennis & Callahan morning show.
