Fontaines D.C. covered Antonio Vega’s ‘Tesoros’ in Madrid on Saturday (November 2), with guitarist Carlos O’Connell singing the song in Spanish.
The Irish band have just started the European leg of their ‘Romance’ tour, in support of their fourth album of the same name, and arrived in the Spanish capital’s WiZink Center armed with something special for the local crowd.
As the below fan-captured clip demonstrates, the band played a version of ‘Tesoros’, a track from Spanish singer-songwriter Antonio Vega’s first album ‘No Me Iré Mañana’ in 1991, with O’Connell, who is half Spanish, taking on two of the song’s verses in its original language while strumming an acoustic guitar.
Fontaines D.C. played in Madrid:
‘Romance’
‘Jackie Down The Line’
‘Televised Mind’
‘A Lucid Dream’
‘Roman Holiday’
‘Big Shot’
‘Death Kink’
‘Sundowner’
‘Big’
‘A Hero’s Death’
‘Here’s The Thing’
‘Tesoros’
‘Bug’
‘Horseness Is The Whatness’
‘Nabokov’|
‘Boys In The Better Land’
‘Favourite’
‘In The Modern World’
‘I Love You’
‘Starburster’
This week, the band announced a new slate of headline US dates for 2025, consisting of 18 dates in April and May. Tickets are on sale for the shows now – see the full list of dates here and find your tickets here.
Before that, Grian Chatten and co. will embark on their 2024 UK and Ireland headline tour, which is set to take place in November and December. That stint includes two nights at Alexandra Palace in the capital.
In addition, the band have announced a massive headlining show at Cardiff Castle for late July 2025. It joins two other already announced huge shows for next year, the first at London’s Finsbury Park, which is due to take place on Saturday July 5. It will mark their biggest headline performance to date, with support coming from Amyl And The Sniffers and Kneecap.
Shortly after that, they’ll head to Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15, where they will be joined by English Teacher and Kneecap once again. The outdoor venue has a total capacity of 26,000 fans, and tickets went on sale earlier this month.
This summer, ‘Romance’ arrived and marked their fourth album and first with new label XL Recordings. In a glowing five-star review of the James Ford-produced record, NME shared: “‘Romance’ offers moments of wonder and gravity while also feeling occasionally foreboding.”
For the direction of the album, the band told NME they wanted to implement a distinct move away from the rockier sound of their debut album, ‘Dogrel’.
“To be creatively understood by too many people feels like flies settling all over your clothes and all over your face. Every now and again you have to fucking shake them off, just to see who you are again. That’s what we wanted to do,” he said.
The band have recently been hailed by Elton John as “the best band out there at the moment”, and last month announced new tour dates for Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
