Fontaines D.C. have added a further four live dates to their quickly selling-out 2021 UK tour. Earlier this week the band played new album A Hero’s Death live in full for the first time online to a watching audience that topped 4000.

Lockdown has not dampened appetite for live music and in the wake of selling out two nights at Glasgow’s Barrowlands, a show at Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange is added. In the North West, Liverpool’s Mountford Hall will host the band after two nights at Manchester’s Academy sold out fast. Sheffield’s show at the O2 Academy has also just topped-out. Nottingham Rock City and Bath Forum complete May 2021’s new additions.

This week of course also sees the band’s universally lauded new album A Hero’s Death go toe-to-toe with global pop icon Taylor Swift’s Folklore in a battle for the #1 album spot this Friday. Anyone buying the album before midnight tonight via the band’s webstore will get access to the ticket pre-sale for the new dates, which begins at 9 am on Wednesday 12th August. Anyone who has already purchased the album via the band’s webstore will automatically get access. Alternatively, those who sign up to the band’s mailing list will also get access to the pre-sale. Tickets go on general sale on the 14th August.
