THE LIVE SHOW
What Fontaines D.C. concerts are like
A Fontaines D.C. concert is intense and physical. Grian Chatten prowls the stage delivering the lyrics in a flat, urgent Dublin voice, and the band plays with a wall-of-guitars sound that pulls the floor into mosh pits on Boys in the Better Land and Starburster.
The Romance-era shows add a more colourful look, but the band still does not talk much between songs. Favourite and In the Modern World bring the loudest singalongs, and the crowd in Ireland and the UK is especially vocal.
Tips for the Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna) show
- Expect little talk between songs; the band plays straight through.
- The centre of the floor turns into a pit on the heavier songs.
New to the music? Romance is the best starting point, and Dogrel shows where the band began.
