DMA’s have announced a UK tour to mark the 10th anniversary of their debut album ‘Hills End’ next year – buy tickets here.

The Australian trio are set to begin in Manchester on February 6 before a further six UK dates that month, including a show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. They’ll then return in May for shows in Nottingham and Norwich. 

They’ll be playing ‘Hills End’ in full, as well as tracks they’ve never performed live and a selection of fan favourites from across their career.  

The band said about the anniversary and upcoming tour plans, “The UK has always felt like a second home for us. ‘Hills End’ was where our story really began overseas, so it feels right to come back and celebrate it with the fans who’ve supported us from day one.”

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday (October 17), and you can find them here. You can register for the pre-sale through their Linktree page, too. 

DMA’s 2026 UK tour dates are: 

FEBRUARY
06 – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester
07 – NX, Newcastle
08 – O2 Academy, Birmingham
10 – O2 Academy, Bristol
12 – O2 Academy Brixton, London
14 – O2 Academy, Leeds
16 – O2 Academy, Glasgow

MAY
21 – Rock City, Nottingham
22 – UEA, Norwich

DMA’s last played in the UK in August, when they supported Catfish And The Bottlemen in Cardiff and London, while they supported Courteeners on a series of UK dates last winter. Their last headline UK tour was in December 2023.

Their most recent album, ‘How Many Dreams?’, was released in March that year. NME gave it a three-star review, writing: “‘How Many Dreams?’ is ambitious and catchy enough to satiate old fans and realign the narrative for those who may have written DMA’s off. But it’s hard to not leave feeling that this was their moment, and they’ve only grabbed it with one hand.”

 

Earlier this year, meanwhile, the band’s side project BIIG Time, comprising guitarist Johnny Took and his brother, PLANET singer Matty, released their debut album 200K and embarked on a UK tour of their own.
