 DACARA sold out their first headline show at Manchester's Deaf Institute in November '24, and played to over two thousand people at Download Festival 2025, after being picked for the Doghouse Takeover. Their last single 'DeGEN' was released in December 2025 and has fast become a fan favourite, with BBC Radio Manchester and Primordial Radio airplay and an ambitious K-Pop inspired music video.

Their triumphant 2025 headline show at Manchester's Rebellion on November 28th brought together over 300 fans for an immersive, high energy show. Other notable shows include stream rolling their way through to the final of Manchester's Metal 2 The Masses competition in 2024, where they won over both judges and attendees with some of the highest recorded scores of the competition. They've also supported Download Festival alumni such as BEX and Skarlett Riot, and have an impressive 2026 festival season lined up, including RADAR Festival at Manchester's 4000+ capacity Victoria Warehouse.
