Fontaines D.C. Unaware of AI in Marianne Video

Fontaines D.C. stated they were unaware that artificial intelligence was used in the production of the music video for Marianne. Grian Chatten spoke to The Los Angeles Times after learning that AI artists were featured in the clip. Chatten stated he believes someone on the visual effects team used AI in their workflow, noting that their record label was not informed. The band has since added a clause to their contracts to prevent the use of AI in their future music videos.

The band released their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, last week on Friday. The record explores themes of isolation, societal collapse, and increasing reliance on technology, and received a five-star review from NME. Since the release of Dopamine Chamber, Chatten hinted that a new solo album is on the way. As of October 22, 2026, the song Marianne is number 15 on the Apple Music UK songs chart, while Japan is number 18.

Fontaines D.C. played an intimate gig at the Roundhouse in London in aid of the mental health charity CALM. Their UK and Ireland tour includes performances at Slane Castle and Heaton Park, and the band is confirmed to headline Primavera Sound in Barcelona next June. They also announced new dates in Italy and Germany, as well as stops in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand as part of their 2027 tour.
