from Rig Rundowns

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/fontaines-dc-2025 Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube The Irish post-punk band’s three guitarists go for Fairlane, Fenders, and a fake on their spring American tour. We caught up with guitarists Carlos O’Connell and Conor Curley from red-hot Dublin indie rock outfit Fontaines D.C. for a Rig Rundown in 2023, but we felt bad missing bassist Conor “Deego” Deegan III, so we’ve been waiting for the lads to make their way back. This time, riding the success of their fourth LP, 2024’s Romance, we caught up with all three of them at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works ahead of their April 30 gig to see what they brought across the pond.
