DMA’S have announced a run of intimate acoustic in-store shows across the UK to celebrate the release of their fifth studio album, a self-titled record arriving Friday, the 21st of August via RCA UK.
The run kicks off in Kingston on Monday, 24th of August, taking the Australian trio to record stores and small venues across the country, with fans getting the chance to hear songs from the new album in exclusive live performances paired with signing sessions. Confirmed stops include Manchester, Middlesbrough, Dundee, Leeds, Norwich and Bristol.

Ahead of their fourth album, DMA’S ran a similar series of in-store shows, with the Liverpool date selling out in 30 seconds and a second Edinburgh show added within four minutes of the first selling out. The demand is expected to be strong again, given the band’s growing UK stance.
The announcement comes as anticipation builds for the new record, following the release of lead single ‘Killing Time’. The track is fast-paced and euphoric and follows earlier singles such as ‘My Baby’s Place’, ‘Heatin Park’ and ‘Hurracane’, which have expanded on the band’s signature indie-rock sounds while introducing fresh sonic aspects that are similar to their album ‘How Many Dreams?’
The album was written and recorded between the band’s own studio in Glebe, Sydney, and Los Angeles and is co-produced by DMA’S and Grammy-nominated producer Lach Bostock, known for his work with Mansionair, with additional contributions from Jimi Somewhere and Styalz Fuego.
DMA’S, Johnny Took, Matt Mason and Tommy O’Dell have built a UK following spanning more than a decade, with five Top 40 albums to their name. The band have also become festival mainstays, having played Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Truck Festival, making the acoustic run an exciting opportunity for fans to hear the new material in a stripped-back setting before it’s listened to in much bigger stages and venues.
DMA’S will launch a full UK and Ireland headline tour on the 1st of February 2027 in Southampton, building to a major show at London’s Eventim Apollo on the 12th of February, before continuing through Liverpool, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin. The in-store shows will give the band’s most devoted fans a first, up-close listen to the new songs months before they’re heard in arenas and theatres across the UK!
