D.D Dumbo Unveils Six-Date 'Utopia Defeated' Album Tour

Acclaimed Aussie muso D.D Dumbo — Oliver Hugh Perry to the taxman — is setting off for a six-date run of shows in support of his lauded debut album, Utopia Defeated.

The tour also boasts the extra-special element of being his first headline tour with a full band; following their opening outing in Brisbane, at The Triffid on Saturday 10 June, D.D Dumbo heads to Sydney, Thirroul, Ballarat, Melbourne and Perth, finishing up a little over two weeks later at the Astor Theatre on Thursday 29 June.

Utopia Defeated landed in October last year after months of building hype around the multi-talented musician, nabbing feature album slots on a slew of radio stations here and internationally, as well as glowing reviews from a metric tonne of outlets.

He picked up the 2016 triple j J Award for Australian Album Of The Year, scored two spots in the Hottest 100 (#44 and #47, for Satan and Walrus, respectively), was nominated for the Australian Music Prize (ultimately won by A.B. Original's history-making Reclaim Australia) and was shortlisted as one of the artists in the running for the APRA Song Of The Year.

If you missed him at Laneway, Womad festival or any of his other celebrated live outings over the past 12 months, now's the time to rectify that and catch him in action.

Tickets for D.D Dumbo's Utopia Defeated tour will go on sale at 9am local time this Thursday, 16 March.
