For CultureCues, we are especially excited to see Glasgow on this tour. Fontaines D.C. at the OVO Hydro is a huge one, and with Dopamine Chamber arriving first, we cannot wait to hear the new songs live. Chalk joining them makes the night even better, and yes, we know we say it a lot, but no Scotland, no party.

Fontaines D.C. play Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Sunday, 22 November 2027, with presale beginning on 1 September and general sale on 3 September.
