  • Rodrigo told the Marlay Park crowd she’s been “obsessed” with Fontaines D.C. and had rehearsed the song privately.
  • The June 24 Dublin show was part of her global Guts World Tour supporting her sophomore album.
  • She is set to headline a sold-out BST Hyde Park concert on June 27, marking her largest UK performance to date.
  • Rodrigo will close Glastonbury on the Pyramid Stage June 29 alongside The 1975 and Neil Young, whose set won’t be broadcast by the BBC due to reported coverage disputes.
