Fontaines D.C. are heading back to Manchester on their new European tour

Fontaines D.C. have just announced yet another Manchester gig – and this time, they’re heading to Heaton Park.

A run of arena gigs went on sale this morning, including a show at the AO Arena, but tickets sold out within minutes.

And now fans who missed out will have another chance to see the Irish rockers, with a run of outdoor summer gigs next year.

Fontaines D.C. will perform at Heaton Park, along with massive venues in Newcastle, Cardiff, Glasgow and London.

Their Manchester show will take over the stage at Heaton Park the weekend before next year’s Parklife festival.

The band will play Heaton Park on Saturday 3 July 2027, as part of a huge run of outdoor headline shows across the UK.

They’ll kick off the UK leg at Blackweir Fields in Cardiff on Tuesday 29 June, before heading to Newcastle’s St James’ Park on Thursday 1 July.

After Manchester, they’ll head to Glasgow Green on Tuesday 6 July, before bringing the run to a close at London Stadium on Friday 9 July.

And if that wasn’t enough, the band will also play two huge shows at Slane Castle in Ireland on 26 and 27 June.

It’s another major milestone for Fontaines D.C., who have rapidly gone from cult favourites to one of the biggest rock bands around.

The new outdoor dates come just hours after the band sold out their entire UK arena tour, including their Manchester show at the AO Arena on Saturday 21 November.

The Heaton Park show will also see Fontaines D.C. joined by two seriously big support acts, with Little Simz and Viagra Boys set to appear at every UK outdoor date.

It’s set to be a particularly busy period for the band, who are currently gearing up to release their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber.

The record is due to arrive on 16 October 2026 via XL Recordings, following the release of lead single Marianne.

The album follows 2024’s critically acclaimed Romance, which reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and helped propel the band even further into the mainstream.

Fontaines D.C. have also just headlined Reading & Leeds Festival, another sign of just how far they’ve come since forming in Dublin.

And now they’re preparing to take on some of the UK’s biggest outdoor stages yet.
