Fontaines DC share details of debut album and release new single 'Big'

Over the last year, Fontaines D.C. have released four critically acclaimed AA side singles, all of which have garnered support and have set the Dublin punk band up as one of the most exciting names in music.

Now, ahead of their sold-out UK headline tour in April, Dublin's Fontaines D.C. have announced their highly-anticipated debut album, Dogrel, which is slated for release on April 12, 2019 via Partisan Records. Alongside the announcement of their new album, the band have also shared a new video (directed by Molly Keane) for the album opener, 'Big' - a typically blistering 1 minute 45 second number.

Speaking about the video, the band said, "we felt that great ambition was a sickness, and we got Grian's 11 year next-door neighbour to say it to you all because he's got the presence of a hundred frontmen."

Alongside the new album and single, the band have also announced a new EU/UK headline tour starting on 19th November 2019.

Fontaines D.C. have toured extensively over the last year supporting Shame on their UK tour and selling out every date their own UK headline tours in December 2018 and April 2019. Similarly, the band have just completed a 20+ run of sell out dates across Europe and Scandinavia, will support label mates IDLES on their US tour in April 2019 and are also set to appear at various festivals across 2019 including End Of The Road, Truck Festival, Y Not Festival, SXSW and more.

The band will also perform their only Irish show this year at All Together Now Festival in Co. Waterford.

We are delighted to announce Irelands very own @fontainesdublin will be performing their only Irish festival of the year at All Together Now 2019 to coincide with the band's announcement of their debut album ‘Dogrel’ due out to be released 12th April 2019. #ATN19 pic.twitter.com/f18XvPruro
