Irish indie-rock band, Fontaines D.C. have announced a series of live shows across Spain before they embark on their summer 2026 festival tour. The gigs across Spain will mark the band’s first performances in almost a year, ahead of their headline slots at the UK festivals in just a few months.
The band have announced that they will perform three live shows in Spain this summer. The exciting news comes as the Dublin band haven’t performed since they rounded off their ‘Romance’ tour last August. The band’s last massive gig was in London’s Finsbury Park, which saw a new height of recognition after the release of their last studio album ‘Romance’ in 2024.
The last studio album, that truly put the band onto the mainstream pool of indie-rock contained charting songs such as the lead single ‘Starburster’ and the anthemic follow-up ‘Favourite’. The most streamed songs were also closely lead by ‘Bug’ and ‘In the Modern World’. The fourth album catapulted them into mainstream charts through their dramatic shift into sonically adventurous pop-rock and a cyber-punk sound that differed from their earlier classic Irish indie-rock albums such ‘Skinty Fia‘, meaning “the damnation of the deer” to solidify their punk aura.
The band’s Irish roots saw them reach the charts several times throughout their career, with tracks such as ‘I love you’ and ‘Jackie on the Line’ released in 2022. Lead vocalist, Grian Chatten’s voice is known for it’s distinctive thick Dublin accent where he incorporates sing-speak delivery that fans worldwide can love.

The live shows across Spain will see the band visit Cadiz, Alicante and Pamplona, which finally rings their almost year-long hiatus to a close.
