Rothbury Festival: 11 Must-Hear Bands
8 of 11
Flogging Molly
Hometown: Los Angeles
Why they matter: Their blend of traditional Irish music and raucous punk rock might sound very bar-band, but how many pub rockers have sold nearly a million albums? Last year’s Float was also the high water mark of their 11-year career.
