I've been waiting a long time to see Fontaines DC live again after last seeing them back in May 2019 at Forbidden Fruit. Originally scheduled for July 2020, everyone's friend, COVID, got in the way and mae sure that didn't happen. To make maters worse, the rescheduled date in 2021 didn't happen either, for the exact same reason!
Fear not though, it is 2022 and not even COVID was going to stop this gig happening! I packed my bag and headed off to the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin, for what promised to be one of the highlights of the year!
So, was it worth waiting for? Oh hell yeah! Others in the media will tell you more about it, but all you need to know is that it was a hit filled, fantastic gig by a band at the top of their game. Oh and the rain stayed away!
