Despite the festival not going ahead due to a global pandemic, DMA’S are set to hold up their end of the bargain, announcing a live acoustic performance from the empty Splendour amphitheatre.
Having been announced as one of the artists heading to Splendour in The Grass back in March, the 20th anniversary edition of the festival was set to be a special one for DMA’S. Having first performed at the annual festival back in 2014, and every two years since, 2020 was on track to be the group’s triumphant return to the iconic event.
However, with COVID-19 disrupting the plans of the band and everyone, July of 2020 looks a little different than planned. In fact, DMA’S’ new album arrived only two short weeks ago, and Splendour in The Grass has been postponed to 2021 and replaced instead by a broadcast of archival highlights on triple j.
Now though, DMA’S are set to keep up their streak of performances at the festival, announcing a live performance to take place from the Splendour amphitheatre on Friday afternoon.
Produced by the team at Hype Republic, this beautiful performance is a bittersweet taste of what fans would have been treated to over the highly anticipated weekend, and will be available to stream from 4:30pm AEST via YouTube.
Although the lack of Splendour in The Grass is a disappointing fact of 2020 for many fans, DMA’S are still set to return to the live stage next week, with their sold-out run of “Unplugged & Intimate” shows kicking off in Sydney.
