Australia will get more of Tame Impala later this year, with new shows added on both coasts due to “overwhelming demand” during presales.
Kevin Parker’s two-time Grammy Award-winning psychedelic pop outfit will embark on a national arena tour this October in support of Deadbeat, Tame Impala’s fifth and latest studio album.
That run balloons to nine shows across four cities, including newly-added dates at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, on Friday, Oct. 16, and RAC Arena in Parker’s hometown of Perth, on Sunday, Oct. 25.
“It’s official: Australia just can’t get enough of Tame Impala,” reads a statement from Frontier Touring, which is producing the jaunt.
Multiple award-winning Australian electronic artist, songwriter and producer Ninajirachi is special guest on the tour, the first in these parts by Tame Impala since 2022.
On that occasion, Parker and Co. were supporting 2020’s The Slow Rush with an arena visit delayed by the pandemic. Parker did play arenas in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in the final weeks of 2025, although in a different capacity; for that run, he was the opening DJ for French electronic maestros Justice.
Deadbeat opened at No. 2 on the ARIA Chart last October, continuing a streak that has seen all five of Tame Impala’s studio albums crack the national top 5, starting with Innerspeaker (from 2010) and Lonerism (2012), both of which peaked at No. 4. Tame Impala’s previous two albums, Currents (2015) and The Slow Rush (2020), went all the way to No. 1.
All told, Tame Impala has won 13 ARIA Awards, one BRIT Award and now two Grammys. Parker can add to his stacked trophy room with the coveted song of the year at the 2026 APRA Music Awards, for which “End of Summer” is shortlisted.
Parker has assembled a new six-piece touring band for the Deadbeat tour, which got underway with 12 sold-out shows across North America last October and November. A tour of Europe and the United Kingdom will begin this April, followed by a return to United States and Canada from June for an arena run featuring guests Djo and Dominic Fike.
Tickets for all Australian shows go on sale tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 27 at frontiertouring.com/tameimpala.
