Fans will be able to choose from multiple camera angles to make the show their own, and can look forward to a never-repeated night of post-punk entertainment that will span material from Fontaines D.C.'s 2020 album A Hero's Death and Choice Music Prize-nominated debut Dogrel.

Fontaines D.C.'s new album A Hero's Death peaked at Number 2 on the Official Irish Albums Chart, losing out on the top spot by just 112 sales to The Coronas. The record is their second Top 5 album after Dogrel topped out at Number 4 in 2019. A Hero's Death is also the fastest-selling vinyl album of the year in Ireland.
