Taking place on Saturday 5 July 2025, the mammoth occasion was already a tantalising affair, with the Irish post-punk outfit already set to be joined by hip-hop trio Kneecap and Aussie punk favourites Amyl and the Sniffers as support acts.
And today, more acts have been added: alt-rock artist Blondshell, Dirty Hit signees Been Stellar and rising rockers (and Fontaines D.C.’s fellow countrymen) Cardinals.
The Finsbury Park gig will mark Fontaines D.C’s largest headline show to date, with some 45,000 set to attend the north London site.
Last year, the inimitable Irish rockers released their fourth studio album Romance – their first under XL Recordings.
Those lucky enough to receive tickets to the sold out summer event can expect tunes from that record, as well as plenty of old favourites from Grian Chatten and co.
For those still clambering to get tickets, keep tabs on the band’s site for more information and potential resale opportunities.
