There’s a specific kind of magic that happens when the scent of anticipation meets the skirl of bagpipes under the rafters of The Fillmore. Last Sunday, Charlotte became the front line for the Dropkick Murphys’ “For The People…In The Pit” tour. This wasn’t just another stop on the circuit; it was a celebration of the band’s 30th birthday—a family reunion where the “extended family” includes every fan packed tight against the barricade.
