Fontaines D.C. have announced a new slate of headlining US tour dates for next year – see the full list and ticketing details below.
The Grian Chatten-led band yesterday (October 29) announced their latest string of tour dates across North America. It comes shortly after the band have just wrapped up their extensive North American tour, which closed with a show in Philadelphia on October 20. New York indie rockers and NME Cover alumni Been Stellar served as the opening act at all dates.
The 2025 trek consists of 18 dates, beginning in April and ending in May. Stops include Denver, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Columbus, Detroit, New York and more. Confirmed venues and supporting acts have yet to be announced.

Later in the year, Chatten and Co. will embark on their 2024 UK and Ireland headline tour, which listed is set to take place in November and December. That stint includes two nights at Alexandra Palace in the capital.
Earlier this month, the band announced a massive headlining show at Cardiff Castle in late July 2025. The Cardiff slot comes as the Irish band have already announced two other huge shows for next year. The first of those is at London’s Finsbury Park – due to take place on Saturday July 5. It will mark their biggest headline performance to date, with support coming from Amyl And The Sniffers and Kneecap.
Shortly after that, they’ll head to Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15, where they will be joined by English Teacher and Kneecap once again. The outdoor venue has a total capacity of 26,000 fans, and tickets went on sale earlier this month.
Earlier this summer, ‘Romance’ arrived and marked their fourth album and first with new label XL Recordings. In a glowing five-star review of the James Ford-produced record, NME shared: “‘Romance’ offers moments of wonder and gravity while also feeling occasionally foreboding.”
For the direction of the album, the band told NME they wanted to implement a distinct move away from the rockier sound of their debut album, ‘Dogrel’.
“To be creatively understood by too many people feels like flies settling all over your clothes and all over your face. Every now and again you have to fucking shake them off, just to see who you are again. That’s what we wanted to do,” he said.
The band have recently been hailed by Elton John as “the best band out there at the moment”, and earlier this week announced new tour dates for Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
