Fontaines D.C. have announced two Irish dates for 2020.

The band will appear Leeside at the tented venue of Live At The Marquee in Cork on May 28, followed by an open-air gig at the Botanic Gardens in Belfast on May 29.

Their long-awaited debut album, Dogrel which is a homage to Doggerel - working class Irish poetry dating back to 1630 - was released last April and attracted five-star reviews both locally and internationally.
