DMA'S Australia Tour 2027

DMA'S have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026, the Sydney band's next home shows are three east-coast dates at the end of 2026 to launch their self-titled fifth album, and the 2027 dates on their calendar so far are a February tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Tommy O'Dell, Matt Mason and Johnny Took formed the band in Sydney in 2012, originally as a side project to the alt-country group Little Bastard, under the name Dirty Ma's. Their debut single 'Delete' came out in 2014, and every one of their albums has made the ARIA top ten. The self-titled DMA'S, released on 7 August 2026, gave them their first No. 1.

This page explains what is and is not announced for 2027 and goes through DMA'S's long and unusually wide Australian touring record: theatre tours, regional pubs and halls, seated shows during the pandemic, outdoor summer dates, and two New Zealand visits in 2017.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about a DMA'S tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No venue, city or sale date for 2027 has been published for either country, and this page does not forecast any. Confirmed dates will be added here once they are announced and verified.

The band's announced Australian shows end in December 2026. To launch the new album they booked three east-coast dates: Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Friday 27 November 2026, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne on Saturday 28 November and On The Steps at the Sydney Opera House on Thursday 3 December 2026. Tickets went on general sale on 1 May 2026, after album pre-order and promoter presales on 30 April.

Their first 2027 commitments are overseas. A UK and Ireland tour runs from the O2 Guildhall in Southampton on Monday 1 February 2027 through Cardiff, Coventry, two nights at Manchester Academy, Newcastle, Lincoln, York, the Eventim Apollo in London on Friday 12 February, Liverpool, Sheffield, Edinburgh's Usher Hall and Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom, finishing in Belfast and at the Dublin Academy on Saturday 20 February 2027. Those dates say nothing about Australia, and nothing should be read into them beyond the fact that the band will be in Europe in February.

In the past DMA'S have followed an album with a long national run, as with the How Many Dreams? Australian Tour of September and October 2023, which visited more than 15 towns and cities. Whether the new record gets the same treatment in 2027 is not known. Until there is an announcement, treat any 2027 ticket listing or 'presale code' for Australian or New Zealand shows with suspicion.

Before the DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

DMA'S's documented Australian history in the setlist archive starts in February 2020, with a run of outdoor summer dates at the Domain in Sydney, Harts Mill in Adelaide, Footscray Park in Melbourne and the Esplanade Reserve in Fremantle. The Glow came out that July, in the middle of the pandemic, and the band adapted: the Unplugged & Intimate shows filled the Factory Theatre in Marrickville, Sydney, through late July and August 2020, often with two seated sets a night, followed by three nights at the Tivoli in Brisbane from 25 to 27 October 2020.

As restrictions eased they moved back to standing rooms. A Carriageworks show in Sydney on 29 May 2021 ran to 18 songs, and there were outdoor dates at Thomas Dalton Park in Wollongong and Mindil Beach in Darwin. The spring 2022 headline run took in the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 31 March, Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne on 4 and 14 April, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 8 April and Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on 16 April.

The How Many Dreams? Australian Tour of 2023 is the most extensive in their record. It opened at Hobart City Hall on 22 September and moved through the Pier Bandroom, Castlemaine's Theatre Royal, two nights at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne, the Torquay Hotel, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide and the Esplanade Reserve in Fremantle. In October it continued to The Cube in Wodonga, Kambri at ANU in Canberra, Anita's Theatre in Wollongong, two nights at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 14 and 15 October, Bar on the Hill in Newcastle, the Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour, the Kingscliff Beach Hotel, two nights at the Tivoli in Brisbane, Venue 114 at Bokarina and two final nights at the Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns on 28 and 29 October 2023.

Since then the band have kept up a steady stream of single dates rather than another national tour: John Cain Arena in Melbourne in January 2024, the Manning Bar at the University of Sydney in August 2024, The Station in Newcastle in December 2024, the lawn at Taronga Zoo in Sydney on 7 February 2025, Central Park in Townsville, Torquay Common, Fremantle Prison in October 2025 and the Bridge Hotel in Forth, Tasmania, in November 2025.

In 2026 they marked ten years of Hills End with a show at the Metro Theatre in Sydney on 27 March, played The Drive in Adelaide in April, and in August toured small rooms for album preview parties: the Crowbar in Sydney on 8 August and in Brisbane on 9 August, the Exeter Hotel in Adelaide, a bowling club in Port Noarlunga and the Tote in Collingwood on 17 August. The most recent shows in the archive are at Griffith Showground on 5 September and Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong on 3 October 2026.

New Zealand has seen them less often. The setlist archive lists Albert Park in Auckland on 30 January 2017, and a short visit in October 2017 with San Fran in Wellington on the 19th and the Tuning Fork in Auckland on the 20th. No New Zealand show appears after that.

The table below lists 74 documented Australia/NZ concerts by DMA'S between 2017 and 2026, with the most shows in Sydney (19), Melbourne (9), Brisbane (7), Adelaide (6), Fremantle (5), Wollongong (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Much of DMA'S's Australian record is outdoor summer and regional dates: Sydney's Domain in 2020 and again in January 2023, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on 29 December 2022, North Byron Parklands on New Year's Eve 2022, Fremantle Park in January 2023, Barunah Plains in western Victoria on 30 December 2023, Quercus Park in Carrick, Tasmania, the Townsville Turf Club and Griffith Showground. The archive lists these shows by venue rather than by event, so this page does not attach festival names to them.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: career and records

DMA'S grew out of Sydney's alt-country scene: Took and Mason played in Little Bastard, and the three members had been playing together for about two years before the band formed in 2012. Signed to I Oh You, they released 'Delete' and a self-titled EP in 2014, and the debut album Hills End followed in February 2016, reaching No. 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Their cover of Cher's 'Believe' for Triple J's Like a Version was voted No. 6 in the Hottest 100 of 2016, the first Like a Version to place so high, and in 2023 it topped the first Hottest 100 of Like a Version. For Now (2018) reached No. 7, and The Glow (2020) went to No. 2 in Australia and No. 4 in the UK, where they had supported Liam Gallagher, Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian and The Kooks.

In October 2020 they performed at the AFL Grand Final, held that year at the Gabba in Brisbane, and in October 2021 they played their biggest headline show to date, at Alexandra Palace in London, to more than 10,000 people. The EP I Love You Unconditionally, Sure Am Going to Miss You (2021) was followed by How Many Dreams? on 31 March 2023, another No. 2 album at home.

After a tenth-anniversary run for Hills End, they announced their fifth album in April 2026. The self-titled DMA'S, trailed by the single 'Heatin Park', was released on 7 August 2026 and reached No. 1 on the ARIA chart. Their sound is often compared with Oasis and The Stone Roses; on stage the three founders are joined by Joel Flyger, Jonathan Skourletos and Liam Hoskins.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: what is and is not announced

Announced: three Australian shows in late 2026 (Brisbane on 27 November, Melbourne on 28 November, Sydney on 3 December) and a 15-date UK and Ireland tour from 1 to 20 February 2027. Not announced: any Australian or New Zealand concert in 2027.

This page will add 2027 dates only when they are officially confirmed. If you see a list of 2027 Australian venues before then, it has not come from the band.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: touring the regions

Few Australian bands of DMA'S's size spend as much time outside the capital cities. The 2023 tour went to Castlemaine, Torquay, Wodonga, Wollongong, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, Kingscliff, Bokarina and Cairns as well as the big cities often in pubs, halls and small theatres.

The pattern continued after the tour: Pambula on the far south coast of New South Wales in 2022, The Entrance, Carrick in northern Tasmania and Townsville in 2023, Forth in Tasmania in 2025 and Griffith in the Riverina in September 2026. For fans outside the capitals, DMA'S are one of the more reliable bands to come to them.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: Sydney, from the Factory to the Opera House steps

Sydney is the band's home and the city with the most shows in the archive. The 2020 Unplugged & Intimate residency at the Factory Theatre ran across nine nights in July and August. They have since played Carriageworks, the Hordern Pavilion, the Enmore Theatre, the Manning Bar, the Metro Theatre for the Hills End anniversary, the Domain and Taronga Zoo.

The next Sydney show is On The Steps at the Sydney Opera House forecourt on 3 December 2026. It falls in 2026, not 2027, and it is the last Australian date announced as of 9 October 2026.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: Melbourne and Victoria

Melbourne has hosted DMA'S in every size of room, from the Tote and the Pier Bandroom to two Forum Theatre nights in 2023, Margaret Court Arena in 2022 and John Cain Arena in January 2024. They also played the open-air Sidney Myer Music Bowl on 29 December 2022.

Regional Victoria has been part of the circuit too, with Castlemaine, Torquay and Wodonga in 2023, Barunah Plains at the end of 2023 and Torquay Common in 2025. The Royal Botanic Gardens show on 28 November 2026 is the next Melbourne date.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

A full DMA'S headline set runs to about 16 to 19 songs. Across their documented Australian shows the most played songs are 'Silver', 'Lay Down', 'The Glow', 'Delete', 'In the Air', 'Feels Like 37', 'Hello Girlfriend', 'Tape Deck Sick', 'Believe' and 'Play It Out', with 'Lay Down' often closing the night.

At Taronga Zoo in February 2025 the 16-song set opened with 'Play It Out' and 'The Glow' and went on to 'Olympia', 'Silver', 'Fading Like a Picture', 'Hello Girlfriend', 'Believe', 'Delete', 'Feels Like 37', 'In the Air' and 'Everybody's Saying Thursday's the Weekend', ending with 'Lay Down'.

The new album has already entered the set. At Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong on 3 October 2026 the band played 'My Baby's Place', 'Killing Time' and 'Heatin Park' between 'Silver', 'Tape Deck Sick', 'Believe' and 'Delete'.

DMA'S Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

No tickets are on sale for DMA'S in Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no shows have been announced. The late 2026 shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney went on general sale on 1 May 2026 through the official outlets.

If 2027 dates are announced, tickets will be sold through the official ticketing outlets named in the announcement and at venue box offices, often with an album pre-order or fan presale first. Buy only from the official seller or its authorised resale platform; many Australian tickets are now name-linked mobile tickets, so avoid screenshots and paper copies.
