Fontaines D.C. bring their ferocious, poetic post-punk energy to the 2026 Shaky Knees Music Festival, taking place September 18–20 at the iconic Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The Dublin-born band, known for their raw intensity and literary lyricism, deliver live sets that feel urgent, anthemic, and utterly electric — a must-see moment amid one of America's most celebrated indie music gatherings.
Shaky Knees 2026 is stacked with an extraordinary lineup that reads like a dream ticket for alternative music lovers. Alongside Fontaines D.C., the three-day festival features headliners The Strokes, Twenty One Pilots, and Gorillaz, with additional powerhouse performances from LCD Soundsystem, Wu-Tang Clan, The Prodigy, Pavement, Turnstile, and more. Set against the lush green backdrop of Piedmont Park, the festival creates a perfect atmosphere where the music feels as alive as the city surrounding it.
Whether you're surging forward for Fontaines D.C.'s visceral guitar-driven anthems or soaking in the eclectic spirit of the full weekend, the 3-Day Pass ensures you won't miss a single moment. From September 18 to 20, Shaky Knees delivers an unforgettable convergence of iconic acts and rising voices — and Fontaines D.C. stand as one of the most electrifying reasons to be there.
