Back in the day (2020), this RadioTimes.com Digital Writer won a pub quiz, and the prize was to see Fontaines DC at Rock City that same month. Fontaines DC certainly gained a new fan that day, and we’re eagerly anticipating the Irish band’s UK and Ireland tour in November and December this year.

Fontaines DC formed at music college in Dublin, the band members — frontman Grian Chatten, bassist Conor Deegan III, Carlos O'Connell and Conor Curley on guitar, and Tom Coll on drums — bonded over their shared love of poetry.

It’s not surprising, then, that their initial releases were two short volumes of poetry. Fontaines DC’s debut album, Dogrel, received a landslide of five star reviews and was awarded album of the year awards from the likes of Rough Trade and BBC 6 Music.

The Irish post-punk band’s second album, A Hero’s Death, was released in 2020, and their third album, Skinty Fia, came in 2022. Skinty Fia was heralded the band’s “most demanding and musically adventurous album” by Pitchfork, and produced some of their most popular tracks, including Jackie Down The Line and I Love You.

This month, fans were treated to Fontaines DC's new single Starburster and news of their upcoming album Romance, which will be released on 23rd August this year.
