On the announcement, frontman Rocco express:
“Europe’s been in my heart and I’ve missed it dearly. After what feels like an eternity, this trip is gonna be so special because it’s our first time ever headlining across the pond. Brace yourself for a show you can’t imagine. It’ll be the craziest night of rock n roll on the whole damn continent”.
“Dream Machine” follows Des Rocs’ 2021 debut full length album “A Real Good Person in a Real Bad Place”. The album received wide-ranging praise from outlets like Loudwire (“addictive”), Guitar World (“fierce”), Rolling Stone, SPIN, American Songwriter and Alternative Press, who describes Des Rocs’ sound as “a whirlwind of classic-rock-influenced alternative rock that will leave your heart racing”.
Currently, Des Rocs boasts more than 1.25 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with more than 227 million global streams to date.
About “Dream Machine”, Rocco adds: “I grew up worshiping the enormous scale of rock n roll. I was obsessed with the awesome spectrum of people it could unite. Soon the guitar became my ultimate escape. When I played I could pour years of bottled-up feelings through my fingers and express myself in a way I never thought possible. I’d imagine myself on the stages of my heroes, and soon became singularly-focused on how I could one day stand on the shoulders of giants. I wanted to make an album that captured the same magic that changed my life. But it was important to push the genre. To filter larger-than-life emotions through the lens of my own experiences. ‘Dream Machine’ is an album that embodies the dreams of that little kid standing in front of the TV watching Queen at Wembley. ‘Dream Machine’ is a vessel”.
