Silsden Town Hall is proud to announce its headline act for 2025, "Things Can Only Get Better" performers, D:Ream.
90's sensation D:Ream exploded onto the dance scene over 30 years ago with the iconic "U R the Best Thing," quickly followed by the globally recognised anthem for change "Things Can Only Get Better". With MTV and BRIT Award nominations, and a string of top 40 hits including "Shoot Me With Your Love", the band cemented their legacy in British dance music.
Now, fresh from their Glastonbury performance with former band member Brian Cox, D:Ream are celebrating their 30th anniversary with a dynamic live show of their greatest hits. Expect all the classic anthems, and updated remixes of their biggest tracks, plus new material. D:Ream's enduring and infectious energy continues to captivate audiences.
Peter Cunnah and Al Mackenzie, AKA D:Ream, are an Irish/English pop group who rose to fame during the 90s. They first came to prominence with the single ‘U R the Best Thing’ in the summer of 1992. ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ followed and gave the group their first chart success and international fame. After they supported Take That on their tour, the track topped the UK Singles Chart in early 1994, and was adopted by the Labour Party as their theme for the 1997 General Election; rolling in at No. 19 in the UK charts. The band were also nominated for Best Dance act in the MTV Europe music awards in 1994 and for Best Single in the Brit Awards in 1995. Between 1992 and 1997, the band released two studio albums, ten different singles and an official greatest hits.
