Last night (Saturday, March 16), Celtic rockers Flogging Molly performed a raucous, adrenaline-filled set for a capacity crowd of St. Patrick’s Day revelers at the Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Merging punk rock with Celtic instruments, the band got onlookers to stomp and sing along to hits like “Drunken Lullabies,” “Devil’s Dance Floor,” “Float” and “Salty Dog.”
As a band that cannot be categorized, Flogging Molly’s heart and soul is felt through fifth studio album and most prized work, Speed of Darkness, released in 2011. Thirteen years after debut album, Swagger, the band continues their loyalty to fans, performing in bars, pubs, and nearly every major rock festival in North America, Europe, and Japan.
Next up at the Boulevard Pool is Tegan and Sara on Wednesday, April 10, New Order with special guest Johnny Marr on Thursday, April 11, Vampire Weekend on Friday, April 12, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Saturday, April 13 as part of the Spring Concert Series.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas features artists at the forefront of the touring world and emerging artists that will inspire the next musical movements coupled with spectacularly-designed, technology-driven venues. Perched high above The Las Vegas Strip, Boulevard Pool is a multilevel pool experience by day and an intimate outdoor concert venue with unobstructed sightlines of both the stage and The Strip by night.
