Fontaines D.C. closed out Electric Picnic on Sunday night to a rapturous crowd.
As they finished out their set, they made a huge announcement.
The screens at the Main Stage flashed up the words “Slane Castle” in the iconic Fontaines font.
So it looks like the lads will take over the iconic venue next summer.
