Fontaines DC

[Narnia]

When can we expect them back at Glastonbury and where?

 

They are free on the Saturday '25 during their European tour and are known to have a crazy tour schedule but it seems unlikely. 

Could they instead come back and headline Pyramid in '27?

Here’s hoping for a El Pointo headline spot in 2027

No for 2025, they did a big slot this year so unlikely to return till 2027.

 

Hard to say how big they will be come 2027

[Robinn]

I know there’s no chance it will happen, but IMO they can be one of the headliners for 2025.

I love Fontaines but i feel they need one more commercially successful album before they can headline.

Chat was that they were offered Pyramid sub for 2025 and turned it down, if I recall.

 

They'll need a late 2026 / early 2027 record that matches or eclipses the commercial success of Romance to be on the level, likely with a winter arena tour proper around that time. They sell three nights at The O2, then we are talking.

 

I would also take them as a credible "young" and "homegrown" (for a given definition) headline option if they have bagged two mega-stars to top elsewhere - for argument's sake, let's say Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

Their current UK tour and its sales so far i'd argue are no less credible than doing 3 o2 nights.

 

They aren't charging the earth mind you

[NorthernSoul52]

Always handy too. I reckon they can do it.

Feels like Fontains may just have cracked the -  I WONT LISTEN TO ANY NEW MUSIC!!!!!  brigade like Sam Fender has done as-well. I think this kind of stuff boads well for them at Glastonbury. 

 

I could see them getting a big slot next time around.
