Fontaines D.C. with Jadu Heart
Mercury Ballroom
Louisville, KY
May 2nd, 2025
Irish post-punk band, Fontaines D.C., made their way to Louisville, Kentucky this past Friday night during their tour for their most recent album, Romance. Mercury Ballroom was filled to the brim with fans anticipating the night that was about to start. Many people waited in line for merch as it seemed to be selling quickly before the show.
Jadu Heart kicked off the night with songs, “Dead, Again” and “Burning Hour”. Fans were grabbing popcorn and drinks, as they danced to the music, setting the tone for the evening. I really enjoyed getting to watch them perform and would recommend giving them a listen
As the music for the title track, “Romance” began to play, Fontaines D.C. Made their way to the stage. Following this, the band played some fan favorites such as, “Jackie Down the Line” and “Roman Holiday”. It was great to hear them play a mix of new and old songs throughout their set, surprising some fans in the room. People of all ages were attending the show and everyone was having the time of their life.
Fontaines D.C. performed, “Boys in the Better Land” and the last track off Romance, “Favourite” to close out their set. The band made their way off stage as the crowd continued to cheer and scream for an encore. The members made their way back to the stage to play some of the best songs off their new record such as, “Desire” and “Starburster”. Safe to say the crowd was over the moon.
Seeing Fontaines D.C. perform was very special. If you can make it out to a show, I would highly recommend it! They still have a handful of tour dates left through May that can be found here.
