Anticipation builds as Australian indie-rock trio DMA’S announces their return to the UK and Ireland for a special anniversary tour in 2026, celebrating a decade since the release of their acclaimed debut album *Hills End*. The band will perform the album in its entirety, along with additional fan favorites from their broader catalog, giving long-time supporters a rare opportunity to experience their breakthrough work live.
Pre-sale tickets will be available from October 15, 2025, at 9 AM, with general sales beginning two days later on October 17 at the same time. Fans can secure tickets through the band’s official website and venue box offices, including Leeds Academy and other major venues across the UK. Given the significance of this anniversary tour, demand is expected to be particularly high for the limited run of shows.
The tour follows the band’s most recent UK appearance supporting Catfish and The Bottlemen in 2025, where they played prestigious venues like Principality Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
DMA’S have cultivated a strong following in the UK, resonating with fans drawn to their 90s Britpop-influenced sound and aesthetic that connects with working-class and football terrace culture.
*Hills End*, characterized by its guitar-driven melodies and dreamy soundscapes, produced standout tracks like “Delete” and “Lay Down” that blend emotional vulnerability with uplifting themes. The band plans to conduct thorough equipment setup and soundchecks at each venue to ensure their signature sound is faithfully reproduced for this milestone tour. Their production team will focus on creating frequency balance in the live mix to preserve the album’s distinctive layered sound without instruments competing for the same sonic space. Frontman Tommy O’Dell’s distinctive vocal style and fashion choices, including his trademark aquascutum cap, have further cemented the band’s connection to British working-class aesthetics.
Concert-goers can expect an immersive experience that balances nostalgia with artistic evolution, as the band’s live performances are renowned for their passionate engagement with audiences and atmospheric arrangements. The tour includes an exciting stop at O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on February 6, 2026, marking the beginning of their UK journey. Despite performing in larger venues, DMA’S are known for creating intimate moments that encourage crowd participation. Fans attending the Leeds show on February 14 can look forward to an energetic Saturday performance that will run from 6 PM until the 10 PM curfew.
Official tour information and updates will be available through the band’s website, where fans can also register for priority ticket access ahead of the highly anticipated sales dates.
