Stepping out as the second of the Friday night headliners at Reading Festival 2026 are the BRIT award-winning Irish-five piece Fontaines D.C. Hailing from Dublin, the band have built a dedicated, global fanbase through their distinctive, visceral sound and powerful live performances. Following the success of their critically acclaimed third album Romance, which saw the band enter a bold new era, Fontaines D.C. have firmly established themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the world. Marking a major return with their only UK festival appearance this year, this highly anticipated set is not to be missed.
