Fontaines D. C.’s new album ‘Dopamine Chamber’ drops on October 16 via XL Recordings – produced by James Ford and follows their UK platinum-certified 2024 album ‘Romance’.

It has already been previewed by the lead single ‘Marianne’ and further new songs ‘Six Shot Morning’ and ‘Happy, For You’.

The latter got its live debut at Leeds Festival, after technical and logistical problems forced them to cut the track from their Reading headline show the previous evening.

NME awarded Fontaines D. C.’s Reading headline performance four-and-a-half stars, writing: “Sorry for the short set,” ends Chatten before the pure anxiety explosion of the full stop of ‘Starburster’.

We hear that three songs – and reportedly another never-played-before new one – were cut from the setlist due to the delay, and we envy the people at the sister site in Leeds who we assume are going to get the full Fontaines R+L headline experience as it was intended.
