L.A-based musician Blondshell, New York quintet Been Stellar, and Cork band Cardinals will play support for the band’s biggest headline show to date.
They join the previously announced special guests Amyl and the Sniffers and Belfast rappers – and all round cultural phenomenon – Kneecap for the sold out gig on July 5.

Blondshell singer/songwriter Sabrina Teitelbaum will be taking to the stage following the release of her latest record ‘If You Asked For A Picture’, due out on May 2.
Five-piece Been Stellar tap into the disaffected sound and spirit of fellow New Yorkers Sonic Youth and Bends-era Radiohead.
And fellow Irish band Cardinals will draw on their acclaimed self-titled debut EP – an eclectic gothic blend of shoegaze, pop, Irish trad folk, and rock with poetry-inflected punk.
Fontaines D.C have grown from humble beginnings in Ireland, and performing their first London show at The Finsbury pub to around 30 people in 2017, to appearing in front of 45,000 fans around the corner in Finsbury Park this summer.
Along the way they have become famed for their raw, exciting, captivating live shows and notched up two BRIT Awards, two coveted GRAMMY Award nominations, and prestigious Ivor Novello and Mercury Prize nominations.
