It’s the news fans have been waiting for: following the release of his acclaimed fifth studio album, Deadbeat, Tame Impala – the visionary project of Kevin Parker – is returning to Australia, today announcing four huge arena shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth this October.

Kevin Parker has emerged as one of the most influential voices of the last decade. Marking a bold new musical chapter, Deadbeat (listen here) arrived in late 2025 led by three killer singles: ‘Loser’, ‘End of Summer’ and ‘Dracula’ – the latter earning Parker his biggest debuts yet at US radio, and landing in at number three on this year’s triple j’s Hottest 100, almost 20 years since Tame Impala’s first appearance in the poll. As a newly six-piece touring band, Tame Impala kicked off the Deadbeat tour with 12 sold-out shows across North America last October and November, with a UK/European tour set to begin this April. From July, Tame Impala will return to the USA and Canada, kicking off a huge area run featuring guests Djo and Dominic Fike.

Conceived across multiple locations over several years, Deadbeat was largely created between Fremantle and Parker’s studio, Wave House, in Injidup, WA. Deadbeat sounds like the work of an artist with a levelled-up mastery, crafted with a newfound embrace of spontaneity for the renowned perfectionist. How that manifests is a distinct minimalism and crunch, with timbres and textures that add an ineffably new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever.

With a ‘Dracula’ remix featuring Jennie of BLACKPINK out now, February saw Parker awarded a GRAMMY for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for ‘End of Summer’ – his first solo win, following his 2025 trophy in the same category for ‘Neverender’, his collaboration with French dance pioneers Justice.

Joining Tame Impala on all dates is one of the most exciting names in Australian music right now: fast-rising electronic artist, songwriter and producer Ninajirachi. Raised on NSW’s Central Coast, Nina had a massive 2025 following the release of her debut album I Love My Computer, which took out top honours at the Australian Music Prize, NSW Music’s Breakthrough Artist Prize, two J Awards (including Album of the Year), and three ARIA Awards.

Across four previous albums – InnerSpeaker (2010), Lonerism (2012), Currents (2015) and The Slow Rush (2020) – Tame Impala has headlined multiple festivals and arenas around the globe. The Slow Rush debuted at #1 in multiple territories and became Tame Impala’s highest-charting album to date in the US, UK, and Canada, landing in the top 10 in 14 countries. As a writer and producer, Parker has collaborated with Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, SZA, Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Mark Ronson, Gorillaz, Thundercat, Kali Uchis, 070 Shake, Rihanna, Miguel, A$AP Rocky, and many more. Tame Impala’s ‘The Less I Know The Better’ is part of the Billionaires Club with over 2 billion streams and the project has racked up numerous gold and platinum certifications globally.
