It's music of a country torn down the middle, a deeply beautiful and wounded country that knows no quit, and Flogging Molly pays homage to that resolve in every note. 'We are influenced by traditional music and inspired by it, but without question we put our own twist on it.' Theirs is music of exile and rebellion, of struggle and history and protest. 'We're not a traditional band,' explains Dublin-born King. They infuse punk rock with Celtic instruments-violin, mandolin and the accordion-and they merge blues progressions with grinding guitars and traditional Irish music, the music of King's youth.

The infectious originality of their songs is a badge of honor and key to the band's creativity, their urgency. Special guest Amorphis will be on the entire run as opener.įounded in Los Angeles in 1997, Flogging Molly has always defied categorization. For the events planned in Sweden and Norway, Breaking Benjamin will appear. With the exception of shows scheduled for August 23 (Hamburg), 24 (Berlin) and September 03 (Scweinfurt) where the bills are still being finalized. In Denmark, Germany, Holland and Austria, Flogging Molly have been locked as direct support. Volbeat has announced the support artists hand selected by the band as special guests on their European tour planned for late-summer in to early-fall.
