Fontaines D.C. announce interactive live show from
O2 Academy Brixton on MelodyVR
23rd November 2020 | Tickets on sale now
Today, Dublin's Fontaines D.C. have announced an interactive livestreamed event, available exclusively on MelodyVR. Returning to the scene of their biggest sold-out London headline show to date, the virtual gig will take place on 23rd November at 8.30pm GMT from the O2 Academy Brixton.
Fans around the globe will be able to experience the performance from the iconic London venue, and choose from multiple camera angles to make the show their own. They can look forward to a never-repeated night of impassioned literary punk, featuring tracks from the band's critically acclaimed new album A Hero's Death and their breakthrough debut Dogrel.
This ticketed event will be viewable through the MelodyVR app on smartphones and VR headsets, and will be available to watch across the UK, USA, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Fontaines D.C. are frequently described as one of the best new bands of our time. Their new album, A Hero's Death, has been one of the best-received records of 2020 so far, debuting at #2 in the UK charts (behind only Taylor Swift). Far from a re-hash of their swaggering 2019 debut Dogrel, A Hero's Death arrives battered and bruised - albeit beautiful, with songs that are patient, confident, and heady takes on the modern world and its great uncertainty.
