Announced today (Friday, April 19), the new dates arrive in celebration of the band’s upcoming album, ‘Romance’ .

Grian Chatten and co. shared news of their fourth LP earlier this week, dropping the pummelling new single ‘Starburster’ and confirming that it will be arriving later this August.

Produced by James Ford ( Arctic Monkeys , Foals , Depeche Mode ), the release will mark the follow-up to 2022’s acclaimed ‘ Skinty Fia ‘ and will be shared via XL Recordings. Visit here to pre-order it.

The new tour dates are set to take place across the latter half of 2024, and kick off on November 20 with an opening night at The Halls venue in Wolverhampton. From there, the tour will continue with a gig at Alexandra Palace in London two days later.

Shows in Cardiff, Plymouth, Nottingham and Manchester are lined up for the remainder of the month, and the final three shows will take place during the first week of December.

The December shows include a gig at First Direct Arena in Leeds (3), Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena (4), and finally, a stop at the 3Arena in Dublin on December 6.

Fontaines D.C. upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates are:

NOVEMBER 20 – Wolverhampton – The Halls 22 – London – Alexandra Palace 24 – Cardiff – Utilita Arena 26 – Plymouth – Pavilions 27 – Nottingham – Motorpoint Arena 29 – Manchester – Aviva Studios

DECEMBER 3 – Leeds – First Direct Arena 4 – Glasgow – OVO Hydro 6 – Dublin – 3Arena

The 9-date tour through November and December will follow a summer of extensive festival shows for Fontaines D.C., which includes performances at Glastonbury , Reading & Leeds , Fuji Rock, Pukkelpop Festival, and more.

The announcement of ‘Romance’ also came with the release of lead single, ‘Starburster’ – a song inspired by frontman Grian Chatten suffering a panic attack and accompanied by a sinister and cinematic video directed by Aube Perrie ( Megan Thee Stallion , Harry Styles , The Hives ).

Reviewing the track, NME noted how the band had “taken a perfect left turn” , adding: “Leaning on the Massive Attack trip-hop noir vibes first hinted at on ‘Skinty Fia’’s title track, ‘Starburster’ is a pensive art-rock beast that fuses elements of electronica and hip-hop more akin to their fellow striking countrymen (and recent collaborators ) KNEECAP .

“Bravado meets psychedelia as the frontman says he’s ‘over harder than a turned up challenger’ and ‘the pig on the Chinese calendar’.” it added. “The video, too – a fever dream of blood, animals and a cast of misfits trying to find their way – further supports their referencing of Shygirl and Sega Bodega as key inspirations.”

Speaking about the title of the album, bassist Conor Deegan said: “We’ve always had this sense of idealism and romance. Each album gets further away from observing that through the lens of Ireland, as directly as ‘ Dogrel ‘. The second album (‘ A Hero’s Death ‘) is about that detachment, and the third is about Irishness dislocated in the diaspora. Now we look to where and what else there is to be romantic about.”

He added: “This record is about deciding what’s fantasy – the tangible world, or where you go in your mind. What represents reality more? That feels almost spiritual for us.”

Since their third album, ‘Skinty Fia’, Fontaines D.C. have also covered Nick Drake’s ‘Cello Song’ for a compilation album .

In December, the band teamed up with Massive Attack and Young Fathers to announce the release of a limited edition 12” single to support Médecins Sans Frontières in their relief efforts in Gaza. The ‘Ceasefire’ EP will arrive on June 1.

I was lucky enough to see them in Boston in the House of Blues and they were awesome. Even better than that I met the great Conor Deeney 111 and had a chat and he signed my tricolour. Then we met Conor Curley and Tom Coll and we discussed the plights of Cork Hurling, Monaghan and Mayo football and where we could find a venue in Cork to house a huge crowd. Cyprus Avenue ..to small. Opera House ...too boring. City Hall ... just right. They were the soundest and interesting guys to talk to you could meet. They could not believe we went to Boston to see them. Since we came home we have been in Manchester and Glasgow to see them. The Limerick gig.. can't wait for. We (my wife and I are also going to Derry to see them. Why do we love them so much? Because they sing about reality in the Ireland we know. Love the guys! One more album and they are into big stadiums. Nice to see the Artic monkeys supporting them on their North American tour. Fair Dues! I can't name one Artic Monkeys song. "Their childhood was small now they are gonna be big"!!!!

The 1865-Southampton

This was the first time I had seen them live after being recommended by my son who had supported them previously in his band Happy 2000.

I wasn’t expecting such a varied fan base, from 14 to possibly 70 getting moshed right up! Being a woman somewhere in the middle I felt at home!

Grain Chatten was a nervous ball of energy and commanding front man. The band are so fierce and energetic in a simplistic gritty way.

Sha Sha Sha and Boys from the better land are my personal favourites.

Go see them, you won’t be disappointed!!

I had a blast for all 40 minutes of it! I know they only have one album but that was pretty short for a $15 show. No encore either when the crowd clearly was hungry for it.

I also don't think any band member smiled the entire time. It was all stern intensity or aloofness. I think that is part of their act. Still great music and a fun time.

This band is brilliant and seeing them live was unforgettable-even days after their show, I find myself thinking of it. Other reviewers criticize they do not interact with the crowd, short set, etc-personally, I don't care about that rubbish. It is about the music for me and these guys played a breathtaking show, hands down.

Massive let down. Band seemed completely uninterested. No real spark and zero interaction with the crowd. To top it all off, the sound was absolutely dreadful. The night never got going and I left early. Dogrel was one of my favourite albums of 2019, but Fontaines was one of my worst gig experiences ever.

Love the band and was thrilled to see them live for the first time but the sound at Vicar Street was fucking awful, completely overdriven drums and bass horribly distorted and completely drowning out the other instruments. You also could not hear a peep from backing vocalists, a real shame

Unforgettable. Absolute privilege to catch FDC at that stage of their career. Being sold out increased the overall buzz. Found it challenging to find a good spot even by getting there before TOY started so had to hug the post. Still, one of the gigs of the year..... So far

These guys are amazing.

For a 56 year old Music lover it was prob the best gig ive seen in a long time. Amazing band..amazing atmosphere.

Only 40+ minute show...but best £11 ive spent in years.

P.S the Suport band was good too.

Just Mustard.

It was fantasticcccc, the energy was great, everyone was moving, and I love the way U Street Music Hall is set up. But Fontianes DC is a great band, I only wish the set was longer (a little less than an hour)

Had thought b this could be over of the highlights of 2019. But then: Crappy sound, no interaction whatsoever with the audience, 45 minutes, no encore. Really disappointing.Will not go to see them again.

Fontaines D.C. Add 2022 Tour Dates, Share New “Roman Holiday” Video: Watch

By Matthew Ismael Ruiz

Fontaines D.C. have announced new tour dates with a video for Skinty Fia track “Roman Holiday.” Director Sam Taylor said the “’70s heist-inspired video” was “the result of attempting to challenge the monarchy and watching too much of The Rockford Files .” The band is currently on tour through Europe through August; Fontaines D.C. kick off their U.S. leg September 16 at the Observatory North Park in San Diego, California. Check out the full list of tour dates and watch the video for “Roman Holiday” below.

Skinty Fia dropped in April, debuting atop the UK album chart; the band has previously shared videos for “ Jackie Down the Line ” and the album’s title track .
