Dropkick Murphys, Bruce Springsteen to team up for livestreamed concert from empty Fenway Park


The Dropkick Murphys will perform live from an empty Fenway Park on May 29 at 6 p.m. EST, with special guest Bruce Springsteen joining remotely.
The band announced its free "Streaming Outta Fenway" concert on Monday. It will be livestreamed on their YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch pages, raising money for three organizations: Habitat for Humanity, Feeding America, and the Boston Resiliency Fund.
This will be a "full electric" concert, the band said, with Springsteen joining for a "Fenway double play" — together, they will perform a Dropkick Murphys song and a Springsteen song. The Dropkick Murphys said they will be the first band to ever play a full show in an empty sports stadium and the first to "play right on the dirt and grass of the infield diamond — and we will be doing it for free — for you, the best fans in the world."
