The new album comes out on July 31, 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now the band has announced an extensive run of European tour dates for next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Their European run will begin in early March 2021 and finish a month later, before they head out across the UK in May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They have also shared another new track from their second album on June 30, \u2018Televised Mind\u2019. It follows the album\u2019s title track, which was released upon its announcement last month, and recent second single \u2018I Don\u2019t Belong\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grian Chatten, frontman of Fontaines D.C. said in a press release:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis song is about the echo chamber, and how personality gets stripped away by surrounding approval. People\u2019s opinions get reinforced by constant agreement, and we\u2019re robbed of our ability to feel wrong. We\u2019re never really given the education of our own fallibility. People feign these great beliefs in order to appear trendy, as opposed to independently arriving at their own thoughts.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were listening to a lot of the Prodigy and the Brian Jonestown Massacre, specifically their song \u201cOpen Heart Surgery.\u201d I was interested in extrapolating those types of chord progressions and capturing this droning, hypnotic feel. That last line repeated over and over [\u201cWhat ya call it\u201d] is a buffer expression that people used here in Dublin. It\u2019s sort of like \u201cumm\u201d or \u201cwell&#8230;\u201d\u2014it\u2019s what people say when they\u2019re distracted.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The band also recently\u00a0announced that they would be donating all proceeds from sales of their merchandise to the Black Lives Matter movement\u00a0and other charities.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once the tickets for Fontaines D.C. upcoming shows go on sale, you\u2019ll be able to purchase them <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/fontaines-d-c-tickets\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fontaines D.C.\u2019s UK and European Tour<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Show Date and Time: March 10th, 2021 \u2013\u00a0 May 27th, 2021<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Show Location: La Riviera, Madrid, ES \u2013 Alexandra Palace, London, UK<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fontaines D.C. have recently announced UK tour in support of their upcoming second album \u2018A Hero\u2019s Death\u2019.
