Dropkick Murphys - Tournée

LDLC Arena welcomes Dropkick Murphys to Lyon

At LDLC Arena, we are thrilled to open our doors to Dropkick Murphys, a band whose Celtic punk fire was made for a room built to amplify heart, grit, and community. Their recent artistic momentum has been remarkable: following the high-octane charge of Turn Up That Dial, they turned to the words of Woody Guthrie for two acclaimed records, This Machine Still Kills Fascists and Okemah Rising. Those releases reframed the group’s signature roar with raw folk storytelling, yielding new rallying cries like Two 6s Upside Down, All You Fonies, Never Git Drunk No More, Gotta Get To Peekskill, and Cadillac, Cadillac. Hosting the band in Lyon lets us shape our stage and sound to their distinctive instrumentation—bagpipes, accordion, banjo, mandolin, and twin-guitar thunder—so that every stomp, shout, and harmony reaches the back row with the same punch as the front of the pit. As a state-of-the-art arena in the Lyon metropolitan area, we’ve prepared a full-scale production that honors the band’s Boston-born lineage of singalong anthems and rowdy, big-hearted nights, while giving space to the newer material that has deepened their storytelling and broadened their sonic palette.

What to expect at LDLC Arena for this show

This concert has been designed with the band’s live identity at its core: a communal experience where the pit surges and the choruses carry. Expect a set that threads together the group’s cornerstone favorites—think the roaring catharsis that made their name—with the recent Guthrie-powered songs that have become instant staples: the gambler’s tale of Two 6s Upside Down, the barroom duet glow of Never Git Drunk No More, the propulsive charge of All You Fonies, the road-hungry twang of Cadillac, Cadillac, and the storytelling sprint of Gotta Get To Peekskill. Our floor configuration gives room for dancing and movement, while the tiered seating offers clear sightlines to the full stage picture—from the skirl of the pipes to the crash of the drums—and our tuned sound system is calibrated for the band’s blend of punk velocity and folk texture. Concessions and merchandise points are positioned to minimize wait times, so you won’t miss a chorus, and our wayfinding and accessibility features ensure every fan can settle in quickly and comfortably. The lighting rig has been cued to the band’s rapid-fire dynamics and call-and-response moments, while the video screens capture close-up detail of every breakdown, fiddle run, and shout-along. Whether you come for the seismic energy of their classics or to hear how the recent records have expanded their canvas, LDLC Arena will deliver an immersive, high-impact night that keeps the spirit of the band’s touring tradition alive in Lyon—loud, proud, and built for everyone to sing together.
