Overview
- The band confirmed an extensive arena run that begins in Lisbon on October 21 and finishes at London’s O2 on November 27, with UK dates in Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and London.
- The tour is in direct support of Dopamine Chamber, which XL Recordings will release on October 16 and which the band say leans further into synths and automation under producer James Ford.
- Fontaines D.C. announced the dates during high-profile festival headline appearances at Reading, Leeds and Electric Picnic, where they have been previewing new songs such as 'Marianne'.
- Tickets: a presale linked to pre-orders for Dopamine Chamber opens at 10am BST on September 1 with a pre-order signup deadline of 6pm on August 31, and general sale starts at 10am BST on September 3.
- The arena announcement is the band’s largest headline tour to date and follows rapid growth since their 2019 debut, building on a UK/Ireland No.1 and a platinum-certified 2024 album as they move from post‑punk rooms to big‑scale live shows.
