Their self-titled debut record was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, with all three of their albums reaching the Top Ten in the UK Official Albums Chart and over a billion streams to date.
To perform their music live, the London duo expanded to a seven-piece band fronted by Josh and Tom. The pair wished to challenge themselves, resisting the temptation to simply re-produce their music from their laptops, and instead translated their songs into a full and organic live experience.

Doom, dystopia and a sense of hope that feels scarily out of reach in Dopamine Chamber sees Fontaines D.C. cementing themselves not just as one of the best, but as THE best there is.

There will always be something inherently bittersweet about listening to a band’s final album.
As long as life is still a nightmare, Simple Plan will always be there to use their musical offerings to make it a little more dreamlike.
With so much on the horizon, Amble prove the world is theirs for the taking as they blow the roof off on night 2 of their UK tour.
