Fontaines D.C. announce headline show at Belfast Vital with KNEECAP
Fontaines D.C. have announced their largest headline performance at Belfast Vital on August 29, supported by KNEECAP. Three+ and artist pre-sale begins tomorrow at 10 a.m., while MCD pre-sale kicks off on April 24 at the same time. General sales launch on April 25, also at 10 a.m. The show marks their first time playing in Belfast since their two Ulster Hall shows in 2022. Less than a week ago, the band released the deluxe edition of their 2024 album Romance . The record includes Its Amazing To Be Young, a track released back in February, along with the new song Before You I Just Forgot. It also features a stripped-back version of Starburster, blended with David Lynchs In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song), which appeared in the Eraserhead soundtrack. Before You I Just Forget is a song that started with a vision of this really blown out sound, something that heaved and shifted with new details becoming apparent every time you would listen, said guitarist Conor Curley. Like never being able to step in the same river twice, the song morphs and changes finishing with an incredible string part by Grian. Fontaines D.C. began their North American tour yesterday, which will be followed by a European tour in June and a UK tour in July. The band also recently announced a show at Dublins St Jamess Gate set for May 25. Sign up to their mailing list here before 8 a.m. tomorrow for access to the artist pre-sale. Tickets will be available here.
