2016 is, without a doubt, a huge year for the DMA's and they are set to cap it off as they return to home soil this October to play their biggest rooms to date. The band will celebrate their success in Melbourne where they will do back-to-back shows, then will make their way to Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane.
Since the release of their brilliant debut album Hills End (out now through I OH YOU), DMA’S have gone unstoppable. From playing the coveted secret slot at Glastonbury, to smashing it on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, to ‘Delete’ being added to BBC Radio 1 A Rotation – the band have certainly shown the world just what all the fuss is about! Just recently, they released an incredible clip for their current single ‘Timeless’ – which has been dominating the list of most-played songs at triple j for a few weeks running.
“…the euphoria they evoke at this packed show is undeniably special.” – NME
DMA’S have also snatched up spots on the world’s biggest festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Bonnaroo, Osheaga to name but a few. Locally, their crowds at Laneway were some of the biggest across the circuit and their recent Australian album tour sold out completely with multiple shows in capital cities across the country. Their wall of sound six-piece live setup has sent both crowds and critics into a frenzy and it seems there is no stopping them.
“…DMA'S left a hot, sticky energy in the basement that was hard to shake even once the show was long over. This humble trio from Newtown are certainly here to stay.” – The Music
“Across the floor, groups of friends (and possibly even strangers) put their arms around each other for some of the night’s loudest sing-alongs.” – Tone Deaf
Currently in the midst of the UK and European summer festival circuit, the band will take a short break to play Splendour in the Grass in Australia before resuming their UK/EU takeover in August.
Supporting the boys on their October tour will be one of the most exciting rock bands in the country – Adelaide’s Bad//Dreems – a band renowned for their sing-along anthems, and energetic live shows on songs like ‘Hiding To Nothing’ and ‘Cuffed & Collared’.
