Ahead of the free show in Quincy for the Dropkick Murphys on July 12, police have issued a few guidances to concertgoers.
The show will be held across from 1250 Hancock St. in Quincy Center, and begins at 4 p.m.
The American Celtic band — a Massachusetts favorite that formed in Quincy in 1996 — is making its return for the city’s 400th anniversary.
The Quincy Police Department stated road closures were in effect beginning Friday. This included areas around Hancock Street and Quincy Square.
Detailed traffic, detour, and parking information will be provided on quincyma.gov & quincy400.com, as well as @cityofquincy & @quincy400 social media.
Alcohol and public drinking are prohibited at the free show, the police department said.
The public is advised to not bring bags, and any bag that is brought to the event will be subject to search for security.
Quincy police officers will be stationed throughout the concert area to help assist the public, and attendees are asked to notify officers or call the department for any suspicious activity.
“The Dropkick Murphys are not just a world-famous band — they’re part of our Quincy story,” Mayor Thomas Koch said in a statement.
“We are honored to welcome home the Dropkick Murphys for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of music and community spirit,” Koch said.
The Dropkick Murphys’ new album, entitled “For The People,” was released on July 4. The album is described as a “powerful tribute to the community and the spirit of resilience that has defined their music for nearly thirty years,” in a press release for the free show.
