It's getting close to St. Patty's Day, so where else would you rather be on this night, aside from getting hit in the face with a heavy dose of Celtic rock by Dropkick Murphys. The band hit the mainstream after "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" was featured in The Departed. Don't think of them as one-hit wonders though – only passers-by will like them for one song. Loyal fans have been loving them for more than a decade. $22. 7:30 p.m. The Fillmore Charlotte, 820 Hamilton St. 704-549-5555. www.livenation.com.
