Fontaines D. C. have shared a cryptic new teaser that appears to reveal the title of their fifth album as ‘Dopamine Chamber’.

The Dublin band have been giving fans tantalising glimpses into their new record in recent weeks and now they have given the strongest hint yet that the follow-up to their 2024 album ‘Romance‘ will be out before the end of the year.
Earlier today (August 16), they posted a 26-second video to their X account that shows a spinning blue planet transform into a throbbing blue iris, before the words “Dopamine Chamber” appear, followed by “2026”.
The video is soundtracked by the unreleased track ‘Six Shot Morning’, one of two songs the band debuted during their first headline show of 2026 last week in Spain, while the post is captioned “D.c.”, in reference both to their own name and the new album’s presumed title.

As well as ‘Six Shot Morning’, Fontaines debuted ‘Marianne’ at the show at the Baluarte de la Candelaria in Cádiz on August 8, and on Friday (August 14), they shared a 30-second preview of that song, which will serve as the lead single of ‘Dopamine Chamber’.
Além dessa prévia, a banda também revelou um novo logotipo azul em uma postagem simplesmente rotulada “5”, em referência a este ser seu quinto álbum de estúdio.
The band have spoken about working on their fifth album for some time. Talking to NME in February last year, bassist Conor Deegan III said: “It’s one of those things where we can’t stop writing – it’s something that we just do when we’re with each other.”.
Guitarist Carlos O’Connell offered another update in January, telling NME: “We’ve been writing, it’s been fun. We’re at Reading & Leeds and there are a couple of shows before that.
I think if the music is there, it could get busy.”.
Asked about whether they might play new material at the festivals, he replied: “I’d say so. If there is stuff written, then I would say so, yeah. That’s what we used to do all the time, play the new stuff life – songs that weren’t even finished.
Fontaines will play a few shows around Europe – in France, Switzerland and Austria – in the coming days, before topping the bill at Reading & Leeds at the end of the month.
They then return home to headline Electric Picnic in Ireland on August 30.
Seu retorno ao palco seguiu a morte de seu gerente Trevor Dietz, a quem descreveram como “o sexto membro da banda”. Sua primeira apresentação desde a morte dele foi na última sessão ao vivo da BBC no Maida Vale no início deste mês.
They released the standalone single ‘It’s Amazing To Be Young’ in February, covered Sinéad O’Connor’s ‘Black Boys On Mopeds’ for War Child’s ‘Help(2)’ album, contributed to the soundtrack for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and last night (August 15), they were joined by Kurt Vile for ‘Roman Holiday’.
