Fontaines D.C.- Dopamine Chamber PREORDER OUT 10/16

This is a preorder. Albums can be picked up or will be mailed out upon street date. Order by 10/2/26 to get by 10/16/26. Label: XL Recordings Fontaines D.C. release their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, on October 16, 2026 via XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, it follows 2024’s Romance, the album that took the Dublin five-piece from critical favorites to one of the biggest bands in the world. Romance debuted at No. 2 in the UK - since certified platinum there - and delivered the band their first entry on the Billboard 200. It earned two GRAMMY nominations (Best Rock Album, and Best Alternative Music Performance for “Starburster”) and won International Group of the Year at the 2025 BRIT Awards, the band’s second BRIT win. It also took the Album Award at the 2024 Rolling Stone UK Awards and Ireland’s Choice Music Prize, and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. Dopamine Chamber takes its title from the idea of a record as a room the listener steps into. “The album itself is a dopamine chamber,” says Chatten. “You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.” Track listing: TBA
