Fontaines D.C. tickets for Slane Castle are now tied to a firm two-night run, with the band set to headline on Saturday and Sunday, June 26th-27th, 2027. For fans planning ahead, the sale window is already fixed, and the price floor starts at €89.25.
Slane Castle in June 2027
The headline booking makes Fontaines DC the third Irish act to top Slane Castle, following Thin Lizzy in 1981 and U2 in 2001. That places the two nights inside a small group of local headline runs at the Co Meath venue, and it gives the band a slot that is unusual even before the tickets are counted.
Fontaines DC teased the date at the end of their Electric Picnic set, where Slane Castle appeared on the big screen with a QR code for fans to register for details. The timing also follows news around the band's fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, due on October 16th.
September 1 and 3 sales
Ticket pre-sale starts at 10am on Tuesday, September 1st, with general ticket sale beginning at 10am on Thursday, September 3rd. That leaves a short gap between the two windows, so anyone trying for the cheapest or earliest access will need to be ready before the first clock strikes.
The support bill includes Damien Dempsey, Hayley Williams and Madra Salach as special guests. Hayley Williams and Madra Salach widen the draw, but they also make the booking more than a straight two-night headline play: it is being sold as a full event package, not just a pair of dates.
€89.25 plus service charge
Tickets are priced from €89.25, but bookings also carry a 12.5 per cent service charge per ticket with a maximum of €10.50. That means the checkout total can climb quickly even before any travel is added, which is why the pricing details matter as much as the headline itself.
Details of coach transport services will be announced shortly, leaving the purchase decision split between the ticket window and the transport plan. The practical move for readers is simple: be ready for the pre-sale on September 1, because the first round is where the best access usually gets sorted.
