Flogging Molly
This seven-piece Celtic punk band formed in Los Angeles and earned its name after playing many, many shows at a pub called Molly Malone’s. The band’s most recent release, “Float,” was a politically minded album that debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard album chart. Hepcat is also on the bill.

Brooke White (below), Michael Johns
These two alums from the 2008 season of “American Idol” team up on a tour for people nostalgic for the season when Utah’s David Archuleta almost won it all.
