Fontaines D.C. return with their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, released 16 October 2026. Produced by James Ford, the follow-up to the platinum-certified Romance finds the band embracing colder, stranger and more synthetic territory. The album arrives with lead single “Marianne” and a video directed by Dave Meyers.

Blending potent balladry and anthemic melodies with synthesizers, marching drums, samples and sweeping strings, Dopamine Chamber explores pleasure, dread and escapism in an increasingly unstable world. It is Fontaines D.C.’s most radical evolution yet—a stark, cinematic warning from a band determined never to repeat itself.
