Fontaines D.C.’s Dazzling Romance Tour Hits London: Here Are 5 Best Moments From the Show


Fontaines D.C. played two London concerts. Here are the five best moments from the first night on Nov. 22.

Frontman Grian Chatten would grasp the air, stare into the middle distance and swing his feet in small, lolling circles — vibrating with discomfort and nervous energy, barely muttering a word to his audience. Humid air, loud guitars, weighty bass notes: When the band delivered heart-rending tracks such as “A Hero’s Death” or “I Love You,” something like an invisible current could be felt in the room – thousands of people basking in the same phenomenon. The blindingly brilliant “Bug” has seemingly struck a chord with Fontaines D.C.’s Gen Z followers: When the band played the track mid-set, friends held each other aloft, while one particularly giddy person let off a pink flare mere meters from the stage – an unexpected move that gorgeously contrasted the lofty interior of Alexandra Palace’s 185-year-old Grand Hall.
