On Saturday, August 25th 2018, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones will hold the first annual Cranking and Skanking Fest in their home state of Massachusetts.
The festival will be held at the Worcester Palladium, right outside of Boston, and feature the likes of Toots and the Maytals, The Bouncing Souls, Fishbone, The Pietasters, and The Planet Smashers, among others. In addition to the music, this all ages event will feature food, craft beer, and merchandise vendors as well. Tickets are currently on sale for $49.00 each.

Cranking and Skanking will become the second annual music festival held by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in the Boston area. Their Hometown Throwdown, held on December 28th (now officially Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ Day in Boston), has been going strong since 2004 with only three years missed when the Bosstones went on hiatus.

Fans of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones will have a new album full of new songs they should be singing along to by the August festival. Their new album, While Were At It, drops June 29th, 2018. Frontman Dicky Barrett told The Pier the album is “angrier” than previous ones, citing the current state of affairs in US politics.
Barrett went on to explain that the Bosstones are very proud of this upcoming record, calling it their “best effort to date.”
