In other news, the band invited a fan to play guitar with them on stage during their Reading Festival set on Saturday (August 27).

Fontaines D.C. were playing on the festival’s Main Stage this evening ahead of Arctic Monkeys, and spotted a fan named Dexter in the crowd holding a sign aloft asking to play guitar with them.

Granting the request, the fan then hopped on stage and joined the band for a rendition of their hit ‘Boys In The Better Land’.

Elsewhere in the set Fontaines played hits from their three studio albums, opening with ‘A Lucid Dream’ and ending with ‘I Love You’.

Meanwhile, the band’s bassist Conor ‘Deego’ Deegan III recently caught up with NME backstage at Reading 2022, revealing that they might be heading in a “lighter” direction for new material.

They also gave NME the lowdown on hanging with Sam Fender and his McDonald’s preferences. Watch the video interview here.
