Dropkick Murphys Abolish ICE Benefit Show

Dropkick Murphy's perform at the Abolish ICE benefit show outside the Alex Pretti Memorial.

March 6, 2026 · Alex Pretti Memorial, Minneapolis, MN

The Dropkick Murphys performed on Nicollet Ave in Minneapolis on March 6, 2026, as part of a seven-hour benefit show held across the street from where Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents on January 24. Frontman Ken Casey visited the memorial before taking the stage, where stethoscopes and flowers mark the spot where Pretti, a healthcare worker, died during Operation Metro Surge.

Pretti's death came roughly a mile and a half from where Renee Good was killed seventeen days earlier, and the benefit show drew together community members, musicians, and others bearing witness to both losses.
