Fontaines D.C. announce UK arena tour for November 2026

Fontaines D.C. are set to play arenas throughout the UK in support of their forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber

Fontaines D.C. are hitting the road once again, with the announcement of a new UK arena tour.

Before the generational Irish band even step on stage to headline Reading & Leeds Festival this August Bank Holiday weekend, the five-piece have revealed details of a massive tour which will see them head to Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, Manchester AO Arena, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, Utilita Arena Birmingham, and finally The O2 Arena in London throughout November.

After their triumphant outdoor gigs last year in London’s Finsbury Park and Wythenshawe Park in Manchester – the band’s biggest headline shows to date – Fontaines D.C. have maintained their enviable momentum by delving back into the studio to work on their next offering, a follow up to 2024’s Romance which bagged the band a BRIT Award for Best International Group in 2025 alongside Grammy Award and Mercury Prize Award nominations. The result of which is Dopamine Chamber, with recent single ‘Marianne’ being the first glimpse at the Dublin native’s swirling, synth-driven fifth studio album.

Fontaines’ latest UK tour kicks off on Friday 20 November at M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, before heading to Manchester’s AO Arena on Saturday 21 November, then Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Sunday 22 November, Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena on Tuesday 24 November and Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on Wednesday 25 November, before bringing the run of shows to a close at The O2 Arena in London on Friday 27 November. They’d have just completed a European tour by that point in time, having played gigs in Madrid, Barcelona, Bologna, Belgrade, Prague, Łódź, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Paris.
