Fontaines D.C. have announced a headline performance in Adelaide on 17 February next year at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Arena, presented by Handsome Tours.

Along with a Perth show in the previous wee, these exclusive dates mark Fontaines D.C.’s only standalone Australian shows outside of Laneway Festival. Joined by fellow Irish group and Laneway Festival lineup mates Gurriers as support, the special performances follow the band’s massive 20-date autumn arena tour across Europe and the UK – their largest headline run to date. They also come in support of their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, arriving October 16 via XL Recordings.

This will also be the band’s first performance in Adelaide since the 2023 Laneway Festival – read our review here.

Fontaines D.C. have spent five albums refusing to repeat themselves – from Dogrel (2019) through A Hero’s Death (2020), the UK and Ireland No. 1 Skinty Fia (2022) and the anarchic, kaleidoscopic Romance (2024). Dopamine Chamber is their most radical turn yet. Produced by James Ford, it’s the follow-up to 2024’s UK platinum-certified Romance – and 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 arrives like a constellation behind undulating sighs of smog: potent balladry, anthemic melodies glinting through the murk. In a world tipping towards collapse, it asks how pleasure mutates amid peril – and what our pursuit of it reveals about us.
