Fontaines D.C. - D.C. EU TOUR 2026

THE BAND WILL PLAY IN MADRID ON 22 OCTOBER AND IN BARCELONA ON 24 OCTOBER

Mercury Wheels @ Live Nation, in co-production with Houston Party, announce that Fontaines D.C. will perform in Spain this October.

Fontaines D.C. today announce their biggest tour to date, with twenty concerts in arenas across Europe and the United Kingdom this autumn. The tour begins in Lisbon on 21 October—five days after the release of their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber—and ends at the O2 Arena in London on 27 November. The announcement comes ahead of a run of headline festival appearances this weekend: Reading Festival (tonight), Leeds Festival (Saturday) and Electric Picnic (Sunday).

The itinerary will take the band to Madrid, Barcelona, Bologna, Belgrade, Prague, Łódź, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Paris.

Fontaines D.C.—Grian Chatten, Carlos O'Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan and Tom Coll—will release their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber, on 16 October via XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, it is the successor to Romance (2024), certified platinum in the United Kingdom, and represents the sound of a band decisively moving away from the guitar-driven language of their early records to venture into their most seductive music to date. Preceded by the lead single « Marianne », the album arrives like a constellation through undulating sighs of smog: powerful ballads, catchy melodies shining through the gloom. In a world tilting towards collapse, it asks how pleasure mutates amid danger and what our search for it reveals about us. « The album itself is a dopamine chamber, » says Chatten. « You walk in and we test these different musical pieces on you that alter your mind or your mood ».
