Irish punk rock band Flogging Molly will be on stage in Bucharest for the first time, during the B'estfest music festival that will take place between July 1 and 3 in the Romanian capital city. The Flogging Molly concert has been programmed for July 1st. The band is on tour promoting its latest album, 'Speed of Darkness'.

The band set up in 1997 by Irish Dave King mixes old Celtic rhythms with modern pop-rock. Flogging Molly started as a resident band in a Hollywood bar – Molly Malone's. Its official debut came in 2000, when it launched the album Swagger, with hits like "Likes of You Again", Black Friday Rule" and "The Worst Day Since Yesterday".

Flogging Molly is made of lead singer Dave King, Dennis Casey (guitar), Matthew Hensley (accordion), Nathen Maxwell (bass guitar), Bridget Regan (cello), Robert Schmidt (mandolin) and George Schwindt (drums).
