Fontaines D.C. post-show at the London Forum (Sam Huddleston / Live4ever)
Fontaines D.C. are looking ahead to 2020 and already have their first UK gigs of that year confirmed.
The band will play the O2 Academy in Newcastle on January 10th 2020 and Nottingham Rock City the following evening after completing a UK tour booked for the November of this year which has just had its shows in Liverpool and Birmingham upgraded. Check out the full details of these tours below.
Fontaines are going well in the UK charts this week after the release of their debut album Dogrel; in our review Live4ever asked, ‘Are they punks? Are they indie? Are they crafty sons of a city being erased before them? Yes to all‘:
“Opener Big is anti-ambition, Chatten growling, “My childhood was small/But I’m gonna be big” like that was a pair of boots waiting to be filled.”
“Effortlessly they transition into the playground, the knockabout strut of Sha Sha Sha taking on all comers while on Roy’s Tune, Chatten is almost singing and the melody is almost pretty, the way people sometimes hear something different to the person next to them, but this time the blanket covers everyone, like a mass hypnosis of good.”
