Could More Dates Be Added?
It happens more often than you'd think. Artists at this level regularly add extra shows once initial tickets sell quickly, and those announcements often come with very little notice — sometimes just days before the on-sale. If Fontaines D.C. add a date near you, being first to know means being first in the queue.
Following Fontaines D.C. on Evnt Central sends you an instant notification the moment a new date is confirmed. It's the simplest way to make sure you're not scrambling to catch up. The best way to do this is by downloading the Evnt Central app at evntcentral.com/app, which also gives you presale guides, sale reminders, countdowns, and a place to save all your upcoming events.
How to Maximise Your Chances of Getting Tickets
1. Sign up to the mailing list now. The Artist Presale opens two days before general sale. That's a meaningful head start, but you need to be subscribed before the email goes out.
2. Stack your presale options. Several of these require free accounts — Live Nation, Metropolis, Gigs in Scotland. Create them now so you're not registering in a rush on the morning.
3. Know your start time. Most presales begin at 10:00 BST on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. The Spotify Presale opens slightly later at 12:00 BST on Wednesday. Being logged in and ready before the clock hits is essential.
4. Follow the event on Evnt Central. Each event page has a follow button that triggers a free presale reminder before each sale window opens. No need to keep checking manually.
5. Use the event pages as your command centre. Rather than hunting across multiple sites, the Fontaines D.C. event pages on Evnt Central list every presale with direct links and timings so you can move quickly when a window opens.
