Indie royalty, three shows, and a cheeky Hills End flex? Say less.
Sydney’s own DMA’S are back with a tidy little (read: massive) announcement – a brand new self-titled album landing August 7, plus a super limited run of three exclusive Aussie headline shows this November/December.
DMA’S – ‘Heatin Park’
The East Coast lap kicks off at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Nov 27, rolls into Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens for a lush Live At The Gardens moment on Nov 28, before wrapping up with a huge hometown flex at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on Dec 3. Yep – that one’s gonna be special.
And because they know exactly what the people want, DMA’S are also throwing in a Hills End anniversary set to celebrate 10 years of their debut – a nod to the record that kicked off their rise from local heroes to global festival mainstays.
The new self-titled album marks a fresh chapter for the trio, blending their signature anthemic indie sound with some new textures, co-produced alongside Lachlan Bostock (Mansionair), plus collaborators Jimi Somewhere and Styalz Fuego. Latest single ‘Heatin Park’ is already showing off that range – gritty, distorted, and stadium-sized – a sharp left turn from the dreamy vibes of ‘My Baby’s Place’.
Between Glasto, Coachella, Splendour and basically every big stage going, DMA’S have long proven they can go toe-to-toe with the world’s best – but there’s something about a hometown run that just hits different.
