View this post on InstagramThe newly announced U.S. concerts come as Fontaines D.C. prepares to release its fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, on Oct. 16. The shows will also take place between the group’s appearances at Sea.Hear.Now in New Jersey and Ohana Fest in California.
Produced by James Ford, the album follows the band’s 2024 release, Romance. That record earned major recognition, including a Mercury Prize nomination and Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Music Performance for its single “Starburster.”
“Marianne” was partly inspired by the 2024 thriller series Ripley. The song also received a live debut during one of the band’s 2026 headline performances.
The upcoming album was recorded in several locations, including London, the English countryside, and Palermo, Italy. Frontman Grian Chatten also traveled through Venice, Vienna and Sicily while searching for ideas for the lyrics, per Rolling Stone.
“The album itself is a dopamine chamber,” Chatten said in a statement. “You step inside and we test these different mind or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
Chatten also described how the new album differs from Romance.
“I think Romance was maybe 60 per cent human and 40 per cent corrupted by automation, and a loss of feeling,” he said in a press release, according to Pitchfork. “This one feels more like 60 per cent corrupted, the mask is wearing the face a little more. I felt it would be more powerful to leave the hope out and reflect the ugliness honestly. This one needed to feel more like a catastrophic warning.”
Fontaines D.C. formed in Dublin in 2014 after the members met at music college. The band includes Grian Chatten on vocals, Conor Curley on guitar, Conor “Deego” Deegan III on bass, Tom Coll on drums and Carlos O’Connell on guitar.
More than a decade after forming, the group has released four studio albums: Dogrel in 2019, A Hero’s Death in 2020, Skinty Fia in 2022 and Romance in 2024.
Their early albums helped establish Fontaines D.C. as one of the major names in the modern Irish and British post-punk wave. A Hero’s Death received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, while Skinty Fia reached No. 1 on both the Irish and U.K. album charts.
The band’s audience continued to grow with Romance, which became its first album to enter the Billboard 200.
