Fontaines DC Play Ziggo Dome
Irish rock band Fontaines DC performed at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, bringing their evolving post-punk sound and a heavy focus on newer material to the stage, VPRO 3voor12 reported.
Frontman Grian Chatten walked the catwalk during the set, drawing reactions from the crowd as the group delivered tracks from their latest release alongside cuts from their previous albums. The band’s stage design featured lighting shifts and the colors of the Irish flag, marking a distinct visual presence during the arena performance.
“Palestine!” shouted members of the crowd from the floor, capturing the direct rapport between the audience and the band during the performance.
New Songs Dominate Setlist
The concert relied heavily on material from the band’s newer releases, with nine tracks from their latest album taking center stage in the evening’s setlist. Earlier albums contributed eleven songs to divide the rest of the performance.
The production leaned into heavy synth textures and shoegaze-influenced arrangements rather than traditional fast-paced punk structures. Songs such as ‘Six Shot Morning’ and ‘Marianne’ appeared early in the sequence, while tracks like ‘Mimesis’ and ‘Demolition’ preceded the final stretch of the show.
“There’s no way I’m going back to how I felt,” Chatten sang during the concluding performance of the ballad ‘Where Is Gone’.
