Fontaines D.C. announce their ROMANCE Australian tour. They will play five headline shows and two festivals across the country in February and March 2025.
They begin their Australian romance at Perth Festival on February 27th, before moving onto Brisbane where they will play at Riverstage on March 1st. The band will join the stacked lineup at Yours & Owls Festival in Wollongong on March 2nd before playing Sydney Opera House Forecourt on March 6th. They play the Palace Foreshore in Melbourne on March 8th and finish their Australian run at Golden Plains Festival in Meredith on March 9th before skipping over the Tasman to play Spark Arena in Auckland on March 12th.
This tour comes off the back of Fontaines D.C.’s latest album ROMANCE this year, shooting the band into the stratosphere.
ROMANCE is Fontaines D.C.s most ambitious, expansive record yet, its 11 tracks constellating ideas that have been percolating among Grian Chatten (vocals), Carlos O’Connell (guitar), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan (bass), and Tom Coll (drums) since they released Skinty Fia in 2022. The sonic evolution of the band, who bared their teeth in early records with antagonistic punk sensibilities, is an ascent into grungier breaks, dystopian electronica, hip-hop percussion, and dreamy Slowdive-esque textures that may surprise fans.
