It is with profound sadness that family, friends, musicians, and fans across Ireland and beyond mourn the passing of Trevor Dietz, the longtime manager of Fontaines D.C., respected Dublin music promoter, DJ, and influential figure in the Irish independent music scene. Trevor passed away on June 7, 2026, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of passion, creativity, and unwavering support for artists and communities.
Known to many by his DJ name “Trev Radiator,” Trevor played a pivotal role in shaping Dublin’s nightlife and alternative music culture throughout the 2000s and beyond. Former students and music lovers fondly remember his iconic club nights, including Trashed at Andrews Lane and Transmission, where he combined his love for music with a talent for bringing people together.
Trevor’s influence extended far beyond the DJ booth. He became a key booker and promoter at The Workman’s Club and the Garage Bar following their opening in 2010, helping establish both venues as essential parts of Dublin’s cultural landscape.
In 2016, Trevor became manager of the acclaimed Irish band Fontaines D.C., a role he embraced with dedication and passion.
