The Courteeners frontman revealed why he's thrilled to have the Aussie outfit support them at Heaton Park next year.
Liam Fray has gushed about DMA's calling them "adopted Mancs".
The Courteeners frontman spoke to Radio X's Gordon Smart about the young Australian band, who'll be supporting them at Heaton Park on 15 June 2019 alongside James and Pale Waves.
Asked about the line up of special guests and whether they're handpicked by the band, Fray replied: “We got DMA’s who are adopted Mancs. Every single band obviously we choose, that’s always been the case.
“But DMA’s, man. I mean they don’t need bigging up through me. Everybody knows. They’re legends already and they also know how to party as well.”
Asked if selecting support acts makes him feel like a football manager, Fray joked: “Well this is like the testimonial where you pick your dream team.”
