Dropkick Murphys plan free Minneapolis acoustic tribute concert March 6 for Alex Pretti and Renée Good

A free daytime memorial performance is scheduled ahead of the band’s sold-out St. Paul show

Dropkick Murphys are set to perform a free acoustic tribute concert in Minneapolis on Friday, March 6, 2026, beginning at 1 p.m. The event is being organized with local artists and community activists and is scheduled for the afternoon of the band’s previously announced, ticketed evening concert at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul.

The tribute concert is intended to honor Alex Pretti and Renée Good, both 37, and is planned for a location near the memorial site connected to Pretti. Organizers have described the site as a gathering point for remembrance and community solidarity.

Local musicians and community groups are listed as participants

Several Twin Cities performers are billed alongside Dropkick Murphys, including Wild Colonial Bhoys, DJ Jacques, Kiss the Tiger, Sophie Hiroko, Chutes, Laamar, Obi Original, and The Shackletons.

Organizers have also identified local groups involved in the event’s community coordination and outreach, including Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Show Up for Eat Street, Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, and the South Minneapolis Families Fund. These organizations span mutual-aid assistance, neighborhood and small-business support, and immigration legal services.

• What: Alex Pretti & Renée Good memorial acoustic concert

• When: Friday, March 6, 2026, starting at 1 p.m.

• Where: Minneapolis, near the memorial site associated with Pretti (near the Eat Street area)

Livestream plans and fundraising goals

A global livestream is planned for viewers who cannot attend in person. Event materials also describe the tribute concert and livestream as supporting fundraising for community aid efforts tied to rent assistance, support for small businesses along Eat Street, immigration-related legal help, and emergency assistance for families in South Minneapolis.

Organizers have characterized the March 6 gathering as an opportunity for public remembrance while directing attention and resources to residents, families, and small businesses impacted by recent events in the Twin Cities.

Context: a second Dropkick Murphys event on March 6 in the metro area

The tribute concert will take place the same day as Dropkick Murphys’ scheduled evening appearance at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, which has been promoted as part of the band’s 2026 tour. The daytime Minneapolis performance is distinct from the ticketed St. Paul concert in venue, format, and purpose.

Additional details about the exact Minneapolis location and on-site logistics have been presented as tied to the memorial area near Eat Street, with the daytime event planned as an outdoor community gathering.
