Fontaines D.C. have announced a new UK and Ireland headline tour

Their highly-anticipated fourth album 'ROMANCE' is due out in August.

Fontaines D.C. have announced a new headline tour.

The dates are in support of their just-announced fourth album 'ROMANCE' - due out 23rd August via their new home XL Recordings - and will see them supported by Sorry (all dates) and DIIV (London only).

They'll play:

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

DECEMBER 3 Leeds, UK - First Direct Arena 4 Glasgow, UK - OVO Hydro 6 Dublin, IE - 3Arena

The album marks the band's first foray with mega-producer James Ford, and - from the sound of the new single - it promises to be their most assured and adventurous record yet. Following the critical and commercial success of 2022's Skinty Fia, which reached number 1 in both the UK and Irish album charts, 'ROMANCE' sees the band expanding their horizons with a bold new image, and hints of new sonic frontiers.

Lead single 'Starburster' explodes onto the scene, a visceral exploration of a panic attack frontman Grian Chatten experienced in London's St Pancras station. The song is a potent mix of sharp energy and sharper lyrics, building to a moment of catharsis before dissolving into a dreamy soundscape. A fitting introduction, 'Starburster' is accompanied by a music video from director Aube Perrie, known for work with Megan Thee Stallion, Harry Styles, and The Hives.
