The news comes after a massive few weeks for Tame Impala, who have just wrapped up their biggest Australian tour to date, playing sold-out arenas around the country in support of Deadbeat. The October run included multiple nights in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, with Ninajirachi joining Parker as special guest.
Rolling Stone AU/NZ was at the tour’s opening show in Brisbane, and gave the night a 5-star review for its dazzling visuals, impressive production and hit-filled setlist.
“There were so many things to love about this show. From the pristine clarity of Parker’s falsetto to moments of introspective band jamming to explosive visuals to joyful albeit sometimes awkward dancing, Tame Impala still manage to stimulate all of the senses through their five albums of music,” we wrote.
“The band bring Parker’s expertly crafted music to life in a way that we may have forgotten over the last four years, and it’s not just presented to us, it is shaped to flow around us, and that’s the glorious beauty of Tame Impala in a triumphant confetti-filled homecoming.”
Meanwhile, Empire of the Sun will embark on their biggest ever tour of Australia and New Zealand in February, The Avalanches just released their fourth studio album, No Bad Memories, and Gang of Youths have begun releasing new music in recent months.
Coachella kicks off from April 9th, 2027, in California.
