Dublin’s Fontaines D.C. take London Stadium for the biggest headline show of their career, the sole London date on a run behind their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber.
Fontaines D.C., the Irish band whose Skinty Fia went to number one in Britain and Ireland in 2022, headline London Stadium in Stratford on Friday 9 July 2027. Little Simz and Viagra Boys support.
Grian Chatten, Carlos O’Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III and Tom Coll met as music students in Dublin and formed the band in 2014. Dogrel arrived in 2019 and A Hero’s Death a year later.
Romance, in 2024, went platinum in Britain. Their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber, comes out on XL Recordings on 16 October 2026. It moves further from the guitar sound of their early records than anything they have made.
The album was recorded between London, the English countryside and Palermo, where Chatten sang his vocals in a booth built from mattresses and cushions. He describes it as a chamber the listener steps into to have mood-altering songs tried on them.
The stadium date is the only London show among five outdoor dates the band have announced for that summer. It is the biggest headline show of their career and the first stadium they have headlined in the city, in the park built for its Olympic Games.
