Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. has announced an additional concert at Slane Castle next summer due to high demand. The Dublin group will now perform at the Co Meath venue on Sunday, 27 June 2027, the day following their already announced show on Saturday, 26 June. Joining Hayley Williams, Damien Dempsey and Madra Salach on stage will be further artists yet to be announced.
In a press release on Wednesday, Fontaines D.C. announced the extra date, informing fans that pre-sale tickets would become available at 10am on Wednesday. General sales are set to commence at the same time on Thursday. Priced at €89.25 per ticket, the cost includes a booking fee and a €1 contribution to Focus Ireland. Additionally, a 12.5% service charge is applied to each ticket, with a maximum charge of €10.50 per ticket.
The second Slane Castle appearance for Fontaines D.C. follows their first headline show at the legendary outdoor venue, scheduled shortly after their Electric Picnic performance. This addition brings the band to the ranks of musical icons such as Oasis, Madonna, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and The Rolling Stones, who have all headlined at Slane Castle. Fontaines D.C. will be just the third Irish act to achieve this honor, joining U2 and Thin Lizzy in the prestigious club.
