An exciting and sharp performance from one of the best bands around. who else can claim such a rich and beautiful catalog for a band that has only been around for a few years?
Arles, France@Théâtre Antique
The band's performance was stellar; the only hiccup was the hour or so wait while the stage techs fixed some broken equipment between the openers and main act playing. Seems like a mishap like that should have been caught well before the concert even started.
New York, NY@Hammerstein Ballroom
I have been listening to this band for months and could not get tickets the last time they played. They did not disappoint. The crowd was really into them and the band played their asses off! So happy I got to see them at a small venue before they play arenas.

This was a great show! This band did not disappoint, and the opening act Jadu Heart was impressive. The venue was clean, well-organized, with great staff. The sound was good.
I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great night of live music.
Indianapolis, IN@The Vogue
Fontaines put on a great show - played more than 20 songs. Doubt there will be many more opportunities to see them in a venue that only seats 2000 people. Lots of guitar - very rock and roll! All the ones you've heard plus some others I need to hear more of.
Jadu Heart was a nice surprise opening up also. Lots of range with strong female and male vocals. More guitar and the heaviest base I think I've ever heard.

Fontaines D.C. are riding the high from their brilliant album, Romance. Their show at The Factory in Deep Ellum was excellent from start to finish. Though they cut two songs from prior setlists, it was still a relatively lengthy 14-song set followed by a 4-song encore. The wait between the closing song of the main set and the start of the encore seemed overly long, but very few of the audience members bailed out. The crowd was definitely into the band. Fontaines D.C. are in the middle of a grueling stretch of US tour dates, and it may be starting to take its toll. However, the band rose to occasion, and put on a memorable performance. The lighting effects were really good. The sound could have been a bit louder for the larger space.

I’ve been a fan of the Fontaines for about 3 years! The Romance album was on heavy rotation on my Spotify playlist. They just so happened to start their Canadian tour in Vancouver for my birthday! Could not have been a better night. Energy was amazing!
Vancouver, BC@Commodore Ballroom
The venue was great, as were the band. Grian was incredible as well as the whole band. I had my ticket as a birthday present and happily would have paid hundreds to go to this event. My only regret is that I wasn’t able to get a standing ticket, as it was absolutely berserk in the standing area. But all in all, it was an amazing night out and an amazing concert. I will be going to the Manchester gig to see Fontaines and also KNEECAP, whom I also love.
Nottingham, United Kingdom@Motorpoint Arena
Wow, what a night! The best gig I've ever been to. The whole place was bouncing. Grian doesn't say much to the crowd but he doesn't need to as the songs speak for themselves. Cannot wait to see them again in Cardiff Castle next year!

Honestly was really special to be there and listen to them live for the first. Honestly would recommend them to anyone who’s into rock/post-punk their discography is very diverse and unique plus the songs are overall class live and listening to them on a streaming platform/cd/vinyl
Manchester, United Kingdom@The Factory
Honestly, one of the best, most lively shows I've been to this year. Plus, the Brooklyn Paramount venue was perfect for Fontaines DC's sound as the acoustics were fantastic! This band just keeps evolving and getting better! This show proved that.
Brooklyn, NY@Brooklyn Paramount
Great band, unfortunately another concert just way too loud. Sound quality was unbalanced and a lot of the melodious nature of their music was lost. Why?? Does anybody really like it so loud that you have permanent hearing loss? Fontaines, if you are reading this, get new sound engineers.
Chicago, IL@The Salt Shed
Fontaines DC was incredible! Been Stellar sounded great! I didn’t know anything about them but I would see them again! The Gothic was packed and hot and smelly. The bartenders were great! The merchandise people were awesome! Had a great time except for the one A-hole in the white ball cap (you know who you are) walked 15 feet to the back of the theater to tell my friends and I to be quiet at a concert…douche!

I was right up front next to the speaker. Vibrations and bursts of air were flowing through my body. What an epic show. They sounded better and more polished this time than when I saw them at the Gothic in Denver 2 years ago.
San Diego, CA@SOMA SAN DIEGO
I’ve gone to rock concerts for over 50 years. Fontaines DC might be the best rock band of the last 10-15 years. Glad to have seen them in the “intimate” setting of the Warsaw.
Brooklyn, NY@Warsaw
Should not allow people to camp out or start lining up until the terrace opens. Very chaotic and unorganized. Food and drinks were also extremely overpriced. Besides that, the bands were great live and put on an anazing show.

Been a fan for a while because of friends in Ireland and it was nice feeling like I was back. Everyone sitting around me never heard of Fontaines DC, but they all enjoyed it as much as I did. Definitely had to bring up the lyrics for “Boy in the Better Land” so the people around me could scream it with me. Please come back to the states!!!!!!!
Forest Hills, NY@Forest Hills Stadium
Stunning, enthralling, literate, haunting, exciting.
A wall of sound. Each member has a distinct voice and defined personality.
I only wish some audience members wouldn’t try being comedians during quiet moments.
Okay, we see you. Go easy on the craft brew Chad.
Portland, OR@Revolution Hall
Grian roused so much emotion with his performance, what an outstanding frontman. The set list was balanced and had all the bangers we were all waiting for. Unbelievable experience I would do 1000 times over
Washington City, DC@9:30 Club
Another amazing show from Fontaines D.C. Great to finally hear the new songs off Dogrel live.
Just wish I'd thought to video Carlos climbing the balcony during IDLES and summarily being hauled back over by the bouncer.
