DMA'S

In reply to fan requests to play in Brisbane, Sydney trio DMA’S have confirmed four - and only four - concerts at The Tivoli in Brisbane on Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August.

DMA’S made the decision to extend their ‘Unplugged & Intimate’ tour to Brisbane after fans took to the band’s social media after their eighteen Sydney concerts sold out in minutes last week.  The intimate and stripped back concerts are in support of the band’s new album THE GLOW, which was released last Friday to critical acclaim.

Promoters Frontier Touring, I OH YOU and Secret Sounds are working closely with The Tivoli to ensure COVID-19 safety standards are met for these concerts. The shows will have reduced audience numbers and will be fully seated.  A changeover period will occur between each concert to allow for cleaning of the venue.

An exclusive Artist Pre-sale for these shows will be made accessible from noon AEST on Tuesday 14 July (see here for details) for fans who purchase a $9.99 bundle, which includes a digital download of THE GLOW and a signed poster. All profits from this sale will be donated to The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service (Qld) Ltd, to help them continue their work in providing professional and culturally competent legal services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Queensland.  

The band are only available for these four concerts in Brisbane so don’t mess around getting your ticket - if Sydney was any indication, these shows will sell fast!

With early Artist Pre-sale tickets to their six Unplugged & Intimate dates' selling out in a matter of mere minutes today, Frontier Touring, I OH YOU and Secret Sounds are thrilled to confirm six new ‘Unplugged & Intimate’ dates from Sydney trio DMA’S – the band releasing their highly anticipated new album THE GLOW this Friday.

Last Monday, the trio behind smash hits ‘Delete’, ‘Lay Down’ and ‘Silver’ announced their return to the live stage, revealing they’ll perform two shows each night at Sydney’s Factory Theatre (in reduced capacity and stripped-back mode) on Thursday 30 July, Friday 31 July, and Saturday 1 August.

Now, thanks to the mammoth response from fans and media to the news, DMA’S are happy to announce a second weekend of shows at the same venue: Thursday 6 August, Friday 7 August and Saturday 8 August, with two intimate sets a night (6.30pm & 9pm). Promoters are working closely with the Factory Theatre to ensure COVID-19 safety standards are met and a changeover period will occur between each set to allow for cleaning.

Tickets to the original and new shows go on sale this Friday 10 July from 12noon AEST (local time).

Frontier and Secret Sounds Members can access their Pre-sales from 2pm AEST today. You can grab a copy of THE GLOW for just an extra $1 when you buy a ticket!

Also announced today and joining DMA’S at their first weekend of shows (July 30-Aug 1) is HAYLEY MARY, who is forging new ground in 2020. First up was the release of her captivating debut solo EP, The Piss, The Perfume, led by its dance-worthy lead single of the same name. Then came radio favourite ‘Like A Woman Should’, undoubtedly Mary’s most exciting musical move yet, and latest track ‘Brat’. The singer is currently in the studio, recording her anticipated debut solo album. “I’d always wanted to make a record that sounded like a memory of your parents dancing in the kitchen, but your parents are Cyndi Lauper and Roy Orbison,” says Mary of what fans can expect from her upcoming LP. (Support on the just-announced new dates is yet to be announced.)

With album THE GLOW recorded and mixed by Grammy-winning producer Stuart Price (The Killers, New Order, Madonna) and out this Friday, these DMA’S shows will be the hottest ticket in town. Don’t delay in grabbing tickets this Friday!

Frontier Touring, I OH YOU and Secret Sounds are thrilled to announce the return of 4x ARIA-nominees and critically acclaimed Sydney trio DMA’S – performing six ‘Unplugged & Intimate’ dates across three nights at Sydney’s Factory Theatre in July/August 2020. The newly announced shows come in celebration of the band’s hugely anticipated third studio album, THE GLOW – released this Friday 10 July via I OH YOU. 

Having performed a sold out show at London’s iconic 5,000 capacity O2 Academy Brixton before the world went into lockdown, these new dates are DMA’S first gigs in many months, with local fans scoring the chance to be the very first in the world to witness the band’s latest material live on stage.

In such a challenging time for Australia’s music industry, DMA’S wanted to support a Sydney venue – one they grew up down the road from. And so, DMA’S will perform two shows per night (in a reduced capacity and stripped-back mode) at Sydney’s Factory Theatre on Thursday 30 July, Friday 31 July, and Saturday 1 August. Frontier, I OH YOU and Secret Sounds are working closely with the Factory Theatre to ensure COVID-19 safety standards are met for these concerts. A changeover period will occur between each concert to allow for cleaning of the venue.

Says The Factory’s Sam Nardo: “We are absolutely thrilled to be opening our doors for such a special series of gigs with the DMA’S. This is a one-off opportunity that will no doubt be relished by fans who have waited a long time to get out there to support Aussie music and it’s simply great to be a part of it.”

An exclusive Artist Pre-sale for these shows will be made accessible from noon AEST on Wednesday 8 July (see here for details) for fans who purchase a $9.99 bundle, which includes a digital download of THE GLOW and a signed poster. All profits from this bundle will be donated to the Aboriginal Legal Service (ALS), who do great work fighting for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people in NSW and ACT. 

Frontier Members will be able to access the Frontier Pre-sale from 2pm AEST on Wednesday 8 July, before all tickets go on sale to the public on Friday 10 July (12pm AEST) via frontiertouring.com/DMAS.

If you caught DMA’S stunning performance of the Crowded House classic ‘Better Be Home Soon’ on Music From The Home Front on Anzac Day, you’ll have gotten a glimpse of the sonic beauty fans can expect from these upcoming performances. 

The band’s new album THE GLOW is on track for monumental success, both here in Australia and in the UK, the album was recorded and mixed by Grammy-winning producer Stuart Price (The Killers, New Order, Madonna). First single ‘Silver’ was voted #20 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2019 (their 6th consecutive year in the countdown), and DMA’S fastest streaming song to date with 8.5 million+ streams. Huge follow-up song ‘Life Is A Game Of Changing’ was premiered by UK’s Radio 1 in January, also scoring ‘Record Of The Week’ on Radio X. More recently, the band performed a stunning take of the album’s title number on The State Of Music, while just released fan track ‘Learning Alive’ has exploded online, earning coverage from Rolling Stone AU, DORK, NME and Consequence Of Sound. 

An anthemic pop album that sees the band fulfil their world-class potential, UK music bible Q Magazine recently scored THE GLOW 4/5, describing it as “Triumphant... DMA’S aspirations are elite-class”.

Their latest record follows on from DMA’S 3-x ARIA nominated 2018 album For Now (which debuted at #7 on the ARIA Album Chart and #13 on the Album Chart in the UK), and debut album Hills End (which featured ARIA Platinum single ‘Delete’ and ARIA Gold singles ‘Lay Down’ and ‘Step Up The Morphine’).

One thing is for sure: DMA’S put on one hell of a show. With these special shows, tickets will not last long, so get in quick!
