Dropkick Murphys exit Punk in the Park festival over founder's Trump campaign donations [View all]

Dropkick Murphys, the American Celtic punk band widely known for their 2005 hit “I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” announced Wednesday they will no longer perform at any more Punk in the Park shows after they learned the festival’s organizer donated to the Trump campaign.

"Punk Rock and Donald Trump just don't belong together. So Upon finding out that Brew Ha Ha promotions donated to the Trump campaign we will not be playing any more Punk in the Park shows," the band said in the caption of an Instagram video.

In the video, frontman Ken Casey told an audience: "The far right ain't the new punk."

The band had just recently performed in Denver but said it will not continue for any other Punk in the Park shows.

Cameron Collins, owner of Brew Ha Ha, the group that organized the festival, posted his own statement in response.
