Fontaines D.C. will follow in the footsteps of the likes of U2, Oasis, Madonna, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones as headliners at the legendary outdoor venue, and will be only the third ever Irish act to headline (after U2 and Thin Lizzy).

The news follows the recent announcement of Fontaines D.C.’s fifth studio album Dopamine Chamber, which will be released on 16th October via XL Recordings.

See below for the full list of current tour dates.

Fontaines D.C. - Grian Chatten, Carlos O’Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan and Tom Coll – will release their fifth album Dopamine Chamber on 16th October via XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, it's the follow-up to 2024's UK platinum-certified Romance – and the sound of a band moving decisively away from the guitar language of their early records and into their most seductive music yet. Preceded by lead single "Marianne", the album arrives like a constellation behind undulating sighs of smog: potent balladry, anthemic melodies glinting through the murk. In a world tipping towards collapse, it asks how pleasure mutates amid peril—and what our pursuit of it reveals about us. The album itself is a dopamine chamber,” says Chatten. “You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music” on you.

Fontaines D.C. have spent five albums refusing to repeat themselves – from Dogrel (2019) through A Hero’s Death (2020), the UK and Irish No. 1 Skinty Fia (2022) and the anarchic, kaleidoscopic Romance (2024). Dopamine Chamber is their most radical turn yet: It was made with Ford between London, the English countryside and Palermo, where Chatten recorded vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions.

“There’s a poignant sense of us being on the brink of some other kind of form of humanity, or non-humanity,” says Chatten. For their fifth album, Fontaines D.C. have built the chamber. What happens to the listener inside it will be the experiment. “Marianne” is out now. Dopamine Chamber is released on 16th October via XL Recordings and available on LP, deluxe LP, CD, cassette and digital. Pre-order here.
