Fontaines D.C. have shared the complete tracklist for their eagerly awaited fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on 16 October 2026 through XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, the 11 song project will feature the group’s first guest collaboration, with global pop star ROSALÍA appearing on ‘Where Is Gone?’.
The new record follows their UK platinum certified 2024 album Romance and marks a clear move beyond the guitar focused sound heard throughout much of the Irish five piece’s previous work. Instead, the band explores a more alluring musical direction shaped by electronic elements. Created in London, the English countryside, and Palermo, the album delves into pleasure, danger, and what it means to be human in the modern world. Frontman Grian Chatten called the project a conceptual experiment that draws listeners into an atmosphere designed to alter their mood.
Lead single ‘Marianne’ offers the first taste of the album, which contains 11 original tracks: ‘Six Shot Morning’, ‘Marianne’, ‘Mimesis’, ‘Happy For You’, ‘Demolition’, ‘Tongue’, ‘One Man’, ‘Where Is Gone?’ featuring ROSALÍA, ‘You Miss Me’, ‘Japan’, and ‘Intimate’. Dopamine Chamber will be released on standard and deluxe vinyl, CD, cassette, and all major digital platforms.
News of the album arrives while the Dublin band continues an extensive schedule of shows around the world. After completing sold out arena tours throughout North America, Europe, and the UK in late 2026, including major appearances at London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s AO Arena, Fontaines D.C. will begin performing at outdoor stadiums during summer 2027.
Their 2027 summer schedule includes two headline concerts at Ireland’s Slane Castle on 26 and 27 June. The band will then play major shows at Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields, Newcastle’s St James’ Park, Manchester’s Heaton Park, Glasgow Green, and London Stadium, where they will headline on 9 July.
Dopamine Chamber can now be preordered, while ‘Marianne’ is available to hear on all leading streaming platforms.

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she returned to drinking following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, last year.
The television star shared that grief left her feeling like “a shell” of the person she once was, causing her to drink alcohol again after the Black Sabbath musician passed away in July 2025.
“I was a shell of myself. I couldn't speak. I couldn't eat. I couldn't do anything. I was just empty,” Kelly told Paul C. Brunson during Tuesday’s episode of his We Need To Talk podcast.
“Broken in every way a human being could possibly be broken and completely unable to even take care of myself. I was at ground zero. I started drinking again. I lost my mind. I couldn't handle it.”
The Osbournes star, who has spoken publicly about her long history with alcohol and drug addiction, also confirmed that she has now remained sober for eight months.
“I can honestly say today I'm eight months sober,” she declared. “I have the most incredible people around me. I closed my circle because I lost a lot of friends because people don't like sadness and they expected me to be over it. I will never be over it.”
Kelly has discussed her experiences with addiction on several occasions and disclosed in 2021 that she had started drinking again after maintaining four years of sobriety.
During another part of the conversation, the 41 year old looked back on the final exchange she shared with the Crazy Train rocker, which took place three days before his passing.
“He sat me down and said, 'Tots, I need you to know something... No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you, that truly loved you for every single thing you are. And that man is me,'” she remembered.
“And I started to cry, saying, 'Please don't talk like this' because he said, 'You know, I'm not going to be here forever and I know you struggle with people and believing you are loved. But I love you more than anyone.' Three days later, he was gone.”
