Fontaines D.C. will play a major summer concert at St. James’ Park on Thursday 1 July 2027, marking the Irish rock band’s first-ever stadium performance in the North East. 

The BRIT award winners have built a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts of their generation, headlining a growing list of iconic venues across Europe and North America. 

Now, the group - shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in Newcastle last year - will return to Tyneside next summer for a marquee performance as part of a five-date run of outdoor headline shows. 

Having sold out their entire UK arena tour, the outdoor shows kick off in Cardiff next summer and span dates across major cities. Highlights include nights in London, Manchester and Glasgow with Newcastle’s St. James’ Park standing out as the exclusive North East venue. 

Brad Miller, Chief Operating Officer at Newcastle United said: “St. James’ Park has a proud history of hosting world-class events - from major music acts to international sporting occasions, such as the upcoming EUROs in 2028. Welcoming one of the world’s biggest rock bands next summer reinforces our status as a premier destination for major events in the UK. 

“Fontaines D.C.’s first stadium performance in the North East promises to be an unforgettable night, uniting the city’s passion for live music with the famed atmosphere of St. James’ Park.”
