From playing every week at Molly Malone's to playing at the Bren Center, which can seat more than 5,000 people, the band has come a long way. The band has released four albums, plus the latest: a documentary-style CD/DVD in July called "Whiskey on a Sunday," which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top DVD Music Video chart. The band plans to start recording a new album after the college tour.
The Bren Events Center hosts a mishmash of events, including UC Irvine basketball and volleyball, but the center holds musical events about once a month.
"It worked out with the dates, and they're actually a group I actually like, so I was pleased to have them come," booking manager Jeff Grady said. "And a number of students said they were a interested in seeing Flogging Molly."
