DMA’s Recent UK Shows & Latest Releases

For those who’ve kept tabs on the band, DMA’s have remained active in the UK scene. They last played here in August, opening for Catfish And The Bottlemen in Cardiff and London, and supported Courteeners on multiple UK dates last winter. Their most recent headline tour in the UK was December 2023.

Their latest album How Many Dreams? dropped in March 2023 and stirred quite a buzz. It’s a record that mixes ambition with catchy hooks, showcasing the band’s growth while still staying true to their roots.

Here’s a quick snapshot of a review that captures the vibe:

“‘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.”
