FIRST MAJOR US TOUR SINCE RELEASE OF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ALBUM SPEED OF DARKNESS
Celebrated Celtic punk ensemble Flogging Molly have announced dates for their 8th Annual Green 17 Tour. The month-long trek will kick off in Detroit, MI on February 17th and end on March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day) in Phoenix, AZ. The Green 17 Tour was born in 2004 as a countdown to St. Patrick’s Day with a performance and celebration in each city leading to the holiday.
2011 has been an amazing year for Flogging Molly. The band launched Borstal Beat Records (their own independent label) and released their highly acclaimed fifth album, Speed Of Darkness. The album was written in Detroit and was inspired by the US economic crisis, with the Motor City as its focal point.
Flogging Molly has created a body of work that blends traditional Celtic sounds, hard-edged punk and thoughtful, socially conscious lyrics. Their incredible live shows and blue-collar ethic continue to resonated with fans worldwide.
Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears and Devil Makes Three will be supporting on select dates, with othert support to be anounced. Tickets for the Green 17 Tour go on sale to the public December 2nd & 3rd . For more info on the 2012 Green 17 Tour, visit www.floggingmolly.com.
