Tame Impala is officially heading home!
After months of teasing, Kevin Parker has confirmed an Australian tour before the end of 2026, bringing his visionary project back to Australian shores with arena shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth this October.
The announcement follows the release of Deadbeat, Parker’s first Tame Impala album in five years, which also earned him his first solo Grammy earlier this year.
The record spawned singles including “End of Summer”, “Loser” and breakout hit “Dracula”, which marked Parker’s biggest US radio debut to date and placed at No. 3 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2025.
Now touring as a newly expanded six-piece, Tame Impala kicked off the Deadbeat tour with 12 sold-out shows across North America late last year, with a UK and European leg set to begin this April.
Reflecting on the Tame Impala’s origins, Parker told The Australian in 2016: “I’ve always made music on my own, but I didn’t think there was a platform for that, so I thought I had to pretend it was a band. It’s not a band at all, but I was too shy to say, ‘This is mine, I did it myself’. I felt like I had to hide behind the band. It’s only recently that I actually called them my albums.”
The tour will be accompanied by ARIA Award-winning producer Ninajirachi, who will open all Australian dates.
