Fontaines DC at Finsbury Park: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know for London show
Fontaines DC have had a monumental year. Their fourth album 'Romance' was declared one of the biggest (and, arguably, best) albums of 2024 and their set at last year's Glastonbury festival led numerous critics to label them the finest band of their generation. Made of of five Dubliners – Grian Chatten, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III, Tom Coll and Carlos O'Connell – the post-punk group is continuing to take the music scene by storm. After their huge global success in 2024, Fontaines is now doing something of a victory lap, playing on festival stages across Europe. And this weekend, they'll be playing their largest headline show yet, here in London. With support from the likes of Kneecap and Amyl and the Sniffers, it promises to be a magnificently raucous occasion. Here's all the important info you need ahead of Fontaines DC at Finsbury. When are Fontaines DC playing London's Finsbury Park? They'll be on stage in Finsbury Park on Saturday, July 5. What time do doors open? Fans will be able to enter the festival from 1.30pm onwards. What time will Fontaines DC come on stage? The headlining band is due to take to the stage at 8.20pm. Who's supporting Fontaines DC? There's a whole roster of bands lineup to play before Fontaines' set, including Aussie group Amyl and the Sniffers and fellow Irishmen, Kneecap. Here are all the timings. 1.55pm: Cardinals 2.45pm: Been Stellar 3.55pm: Blondshell 5.10pm: Kneecap 6.40pm: Amyl and the Sniffers 8.20pm: Fontaines DC DJs between sets will be Rob Smith & Tony Bones (Workmans Dublin), Steve Lamacq, Robbie Brady (Garage Bar RIP) and So Young. Setlist Based on the other festival slots that Fontaines have played so far this summer, you can expect the band's setlist on Saturday to go something like this: Here's the Thing Jackie Down the Line Boys in the Better Land A Lucid Dream Roman Holiday Big Shot Death Kink A Hero's Death Before You I Just Forget It's Amazing to Be Young Bug Hurricance Laughter Nabokov Motorcycle Boy Favourite Romance Desire In the Modern World I Love You Starburster Festival map Take a look at the map below for an idea of how the festival site will be laid out on Saturday. Can you still get tickets? Nope, the event is fully sold out on all of the officially verified ticket selling sites. How to get there The closest stations to the park are Finsbury Park Underground station, which is on the Piccadilly line, and Manor House station, which is on the Elizabeth line. From Finsbury Park station, it's a 330m walk to the site and from Manor House it's around 1km. You can also get their via a number of local bus routes, including 4, 19, 29, 106, 141, 153, 210, 236, 253, 254, 259, 341, W1 and W7. What's Finsbury Park's bag policy? As with most music events, you won't be able to bring in a bag that's any bigger than A4 size (although those with accessibility passes are allowed a larger bag). Banned items Aside from the obvious – weapons, explosives, drugs and the like – there's quite a lot of more surprising stuff that are banned from the festival site. If you attempt to bring them with you, you run the risk of having them taken away and binned at the gates.

AC/DC Plug In Extra Stadium Dates for Australia's Power-Hungry Fans
Australia asked for more AC/DC, and they delivered. Just hours after tickets went on sale Thursday (June 26) for the legendary rock band's 2025 stadium tour, promoter TEG Van Egmond has announced second dates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane due to overwhelming demand. More from Billboard Luis Cortés, Angelina Victoria, Maeso & More Emerging Latin Artists on Our Radar Selena Gomez Says Ice Cube Was Her Childhood Celebrity Crush: 'I Just Thought He Would Protect Me' Barbra Streisand Says 'They'd Have to Pay Me A Lot of Money' to Return to 'Meet the Parents' Franchise The newly added shows will take place on Sunday, Nov. 16 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Tuesday, Nov. 25 at Accor Stadium in Sydney, and Thursday, Dec. 18 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. Each is being billed as the final date for that city. The Power Up Tour now spans eight dates, kicking off Nov. 12 in Melbourne and wrapping Dec. 18 in Brisbane, marking AC/DC's first full national tour of Australia in nearly a decade. The band will play shows in each of the country's five major cities — Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane — with support from Australian punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers. The tour is in support of AC/DC's 2020 album Power Up, which debuted at No. 1 in Australia and both sides of the Atlantic. The release cemented the band's place in Australian chart history, becoming their sixth No. 1 album — the most of any Australian group, tied with Hilltop Hoods. Power Up followed their streak of chart-toppers including Back In Black (1981), Live (1992), Ballbreaker (1995), Black Ice (2008), and Rock or Bust (2014). Internationally, the Power Up era has been box-office gold. In 2023, the band sold over 2 million tickets across 24 European shows. They recently wrapped a 10-date sold-out run in North America, and are about to begin a 15-show tour across Europe this week before bringing the show home to Australia for the summer leg. It's been 10 years since AC/DC's last visit to Australian shores. The band's 2015 Rock or Bust tour saw over 520,000 tickets sold across 11 dates, including shows in Auckland and Wellington. Produced by TEG Van Egmond, the 2025 tour is one of the most anticipated Australian rock events in recent memory. The addition of second and final shows in three major cities cements the band's enduring legacy — and the unshakable demand to see them live. AC/DC 2025 Australian Tour Dates with special guests Amyl and The Sniffers Wednesday, Nov. 12 – Melbourne Cricket Ground Sunday, Nov. 16 – Melbourne Cricket Ground (NEW SHOW) Friday, Nov. 21 – Sydney, Accor Stadium Tuesday, Nov. 25 – Sydney, Accor Stadium Sunday, Nov. 30 – Adelaide, bp Adelaide Grand Final Thursday, Dec. 4 – Perth, Optus Stadium Sunday, Dec. 14 – Brisbane, Suncorp Stadium Thursday, Dec. 18 – Brisbane, Suncorp Stadium Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

AC/DC Announce Long-Awaited 2025 Australian Stadium Tour
AC/DC are heading home. The legendary rock band have announced a five-date stadium tour of Australia for November and December 2025, marking their first national run since 2015. The Power Up tour will kick off Nov. 12 at Melbourne Cricket Ground and includes stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, with tickets going on sale via TEG Van Egmond. More from Billboard Nicole Scherzinger Gives Surprise 'Buttons' Performance at Broadway Bares Live Aid to Be Re-Broadcast for 40th Anniversary on U.K. Radio Lana Del Rey Taps Addison Rae, BANKS and London Grammar for U.K. Stadium Tour The tour follows AC/DC's massive European and North American legs earlier this year, and continues the band's celebration of their 2020 studio album Power Up, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 117,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. The release became AC/DC's third No. 1 album in the U.S., joining 2008's Black Ice and 1981's For Those About to Rock (We Salute You). It also marked their 26th charting album on the Billboard 200, and 10th top 10 overall. The album also nabbed No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, Billboard 200 and the Official UK Albums Chart. The Australian shows will feature support from Amyl and the Sniffers, who frontwoman Amy Taylor called the 'highlight of my literal life' when announcing the news on social media. Taylor took to Instagram Stories to share her disbelief and excitement at landing the gig: 'AC/DC! The best rock and roll band in the world. I just can't believe it. I am so excited,' she wrote. 'Never ever ever would have dreamed this. Highlight of my literal life like wow can you believe it.' She also reminisced about the band's early connection to AC/DC, writing, 'Five years ago we covered the same three AC/DC songs on the back of a truck up the Canning Highway for two hours straight. A band's music that's been weaved through my wholeeeeee life.' To mark the full-circle moment, Taylor shared a throwback video of Amyl and the Sniffers performing 'Highway to Hell' during Perth Festival in 2021. She ended the post with a final fangirl flourish: 'Mainly just excited to see them play multiple times.' The upcoming dates are being produced by TEG Van Egmond, who previously helmed the band's record-breaking Black Ice (2009) and Rock or Bust (2015) tours. The band sold over 520,000 tickets across 11 shows on the last Australian run, including stops in Auckland and Wellington. AC/DC's current lineup features guitarist Angus Young, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney. Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist with tracks from all 17 of the band's studio albums. AC/DC are one of only two bands inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the ARIA Hall of Fame (the Bee Gees being the other), and their legacy as one of the most successful and influential bands in history is cemented.
