Fontaines D.C. Debut Two New Songs at Comeback Show in Spain
"Marianne" and "Six Shot Morning" appeared during the 19-song set in Spain over the weekend.
Fontaines D.C. made a triumphant return to the stage this weekend, premiering two brand new tracks during their inaugural live performances of the year in Cadiz, Spain. The duo of concerts took place on Friday and Saturday (August 7, 8), as part of the band's summer tour culminating in headline slots at Reading & Leeds Festival (August 28, 29) and Ireland’s Electric Picnic (August 30).
During their 19-song setlist, the Irish group performed "Marianne" and "Six Shot Morning," both of which carry darker, more electronic tones that echo themes present in their recent albums Skinty Fia (2022) and Romance (2024).
Earlier this year, Fontaines D.C. confirmed to NME that they were working on new material, with guitarist Carlos O’Connell expressing his excitement about the creative process. The group has been touring across Europe, with shows in France, Switzerland and Austria lined up for the future. In September, they will perform a series of shows at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Festival (September 18), Sea.Hear.Now in Asbury Park, New Jersey (September 20) and Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California (September 27).
Fontaines D.C.’s fourth studio album, Romance, garnered two Grammy nominations, securing spots in the best rock album and best alternative music performance ("Starburster") categories. In June, the band's longtime manager Trevor Dietz, who they referred to as their "sixth member," passed away at the age of 47. The band paid tribute to Dietz, acknowledging his unwavering support and passionate advocacy for them and the causes they held dear.
