Fontaines DC have announced the biggest tour of their career: 20 concerts in arenas across Europe and the UK, scheduled for autumn 2026 including a date in Italy on 26 October in Bologna.
The tour will start in Lisbon on October 21st, just five days after the release of Dopamine Chamber, the band’s fifth studio album, and will end on November 27th at the O2 Arena in London.
The calendar will also include Madrid, Barcelona, Belgrade, Prague, Łódź, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Paris.
The second part of the tour will be entirely British, with six dates in Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and London.
The announcement comes on the eve of a particularly significant weekend for the band, headlining three festivals: Reading Festival, tonight, Leeds Festival, Saturday, and Electric Picnic, Sunday.
The new tour therefore arrives in a phase of further expansion for Fontaines DC, who have now firmly moved from clubs to large arenas. Dopamine Chamber will represent the next chapter in a trajectory that began with Dogrel in 2019 and has progressively become one of the most relevant paths of the contemporary post-punk scene.

WATCH THE VIDEO
Starring Grian Chatten, the video is sumptuous and hallucinatory, in perfect harmony with the atmosphere of the single. “Marianne” is a song that talks about escape and hedonism, it’s like an alarm signal that offers the listener an escape route from oblivion, or a way to reach it.
“This year, you should come and stay here / You can follow my lead / I can help you disappear,” Chatten sings.
Behind the text lies a more important question: how willing would a person be to give up their imagination if the alternative was to remain fully aware of the catastrophe?
