Dropkick Murphys at Hayden Homes Amphitheater on June 23, 2025

It was the kind of night where the breeze carries a tangible flicker of anticipation and right out of the gate, Ken Casey and company delivered a dropkick of electric charged harmonies straight to the hearts and minds of an eclectic Bend crowd. Rental chairs to the circle pit, the undeniable rhythm inspired every pair of feet into motion. Resounding within the circle pit of benevolent chaos, Ken Casey’s messages of indignation and unity were as clear as the bagpipes piercing the warm riverside sky. Arm in arm, jumping and swaying side to side, the demographic melting pot at Hayden Homes simmered into a single form with one purpose, celebrate.
