Rod Laver Arena

It’s the news fans have been waiting for: following the release of his acclaimed fifth studio album, Deadbeat, Tame Impala – the visionary project led by Kevin Parker – returns to Melbourne this October.

Kevin Parker stands as one of the most influential voices of the last decade. He launched a bold new musical chapter with Deadbeat, which arrived in late 2025, led by three killer singles: “Loser,” “End of Summer,” and “Dracula.” “Dracula” delivered Parker’s biggest US radio debut to date and landed at number 3 in this year’s triple j Hottest 100, almost 20 years after Tame Impala first appeared in the poll.

Now a 6-piece touring band, Tame Impala kicked off the Deadbeat tour with 12 sold-out North American shows in 2025 and will tour the UK and Europe before returning to the USA and Canada in July.
