The Slane show will be a major homecoming for Fontaines D.C., who have become one of Ireland's biggest international music acts since releasing their debut album Dogrel in 2019.
The band will follow in the footsteps of some of the biggest names ever to play Slane Castle, including U2, Oasis, Madonna, David Bowie and The Rolling Stones.
They will also make history as only the third Irish act to headline the famous venue, following U2 and Thin Lizzy.
The announcement comes shortly after Fontaines D.C. revealed details of their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber.

The album is due for release on 16th October through XL Recordings and follows their 2024 album Romance, which was certified platinum in the UK.
The new record was produced by James Ford and sees the band continue to move away from the guitar-driven sound of their earlier work.
It follows four previous albums: Dogrel in 2019, A Hero's Death in 2020, Skinty Fia in 2022 and Romance in 2024. Skinty Fia reached No. 1 in both Ireland and the UK.
The new album was recorded between London, the English countryside and Palermo, with frontman Grian Chatten recording vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions.
Lead single Marianne is already available, with Chatten describing the album itself as “a dopamine chamber” where the band can test different “mind- or mood-altering pieces of music” on the listener.
The Slane announcement follows headline appearances at Reading and Leeds and a performance at Electric Picnic over the weekend.
Fontaines D.C. are currently made up of Grian Chatten, Carlos O'Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan and Tom Coll.
The band will continue their live dates throughout 2026, with shows across the US and Europe before heading to the UK for arena dates in November.
Their current 2026 schedule includes shows at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Movistar Arena in Madrid, Sant Jordi Club in Barcelona, Accor Arena in Paris and the O2 Arena in London.
Then, on Saturday 26th June 2027, they'll return home for what is set to be one of the biggest Irish shows of their career at Slane Castle.
