About Fontaines D.C. at St. James' Park, Newcastle
Fontaines D.C. have sold out their entire UK arena tour, and in summer 2027 they’ll play their biggest shows to date. The run includes St James’ Park, Newcastle on Thursday 1st July 2027, with support from Little Simz and Viagra Boys.
Made up of Grian Chatten, Carlos O’Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan and Tom Coll, the band released their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber, on Friday 16th October 2026. Produced by James Ford, it’s the follow-up to 2024’s UK platinum-certified Romance, and it moves decisively away from the guitar sound of their early records towards their most seductive music yet.
Led by the single “Marianne”, the album pairs potent balladry with anthemic melodies glinting through the murk. In a world tipping towards collapse, it asks how pleasure changes in the face of danger, and what chasing it says about us. “The album itself is a dopamine chamber,” says Chatten. “You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
Fontaines D.C. have spent five albums refusing to repeat themselves, from Dogrel (2019) and A Hero’s Death (2020) to the UK and Irish No. 1 Skinty Fia (2022) and the anarchic, kaleidoscopic Romance (2024). Dopamine Chamber is their most radical turn yet. They made it with Ford across London, the English countryside and Palermo, where Chatten recorded his vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions. “There’s a poignant sense of us being on the brink of some other kind of form of humanity, or non-humanity,” he says.

Venue information
St James’ Park, Newcastle has been home to Newcastle United since the club was formed in 1892, though football was first played on the site 12 years earlier, in 1880. The pitch has stayed in the same spot ever since, while the stadium around it has been rebuilt with towering stands of steel and glass. It’s now one of the most recognisable sights on the Newcastle skyline.

St James’ Park sits on the edge of Leazes Park, a ten-minute walk from Newcastle Central Station and five minutes from Monument Metro, with Chinatown, The Gate and the city’s shops, bars and restaurants all close by. That makes it an easy trip whether you’re local or coming in from further afield.
