FONTAINES D.C.

Tuesday 29th June 2027

Special guests: Little Simz, Viagra Boys

Following headline shows at Reading and Leeds festivals, Fontaines D.C. have announced a huge Welsh show at Blackweir Fields, Cardiff, with support from Little Simz and Viagra Boys.

The band will follow in the footsteps of the likes of The Cure, Stevie Wonder, Alanis Morissette, Slayer and Lewis Capaldi as headliners at the iconic new music series in the Welsh capital.

The news follows the recent announcement of Fontaines D.C.'s fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, released on 16th October via XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, it's the follow-up to 2024's UK platinum-certified Romance — 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 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."

From Dogrel (2019) to the anarchic, kaleidoscopic Romance (2024), Fontaines D.C. have spent five albums refusing to repeat themselves — and Dopamine Chamber is their most radical turn yet.
