It’s been over three years since Tame Impala last toured Australia, but it seems the long wait for the Kevin Parker-led project to come home is finally coming to an end.

Tour promoters Frontier Touring have been busy, teasing the return of Foo Fighters while already promoting shows for Lily Allen, Wolf Alice, Ed Sheeran, Mia Wray, Lainey Wilson, and others. Now, it seems that Tame Impala have joined the lengthy list of acts touring Australia in 2026.

Frontier Touring shared a teaser on social media yesterday (10 February) of a poster planted on buildings that reads, “END OF SUMMER?” Of course, End of Summer is the near-seven-minute dance music epic released by Tame Impala last year—the track kicked off a new era before Parker even announced the new album, Deadbeat.

The video features End of Summer playing in the background, with Frontier Touring – in collaboration with Chugg Entertainment – captioning the post, “I’ll see you when I see you ” and leading fans to a sign-up link for more information.

Earlier this month, Tame Impala took home their second Grammy Award – for Best Dance/Electronic Recording – for End of Summer.

Tame Impala last toured Australia in October 2022, performing in arenas across the country in support of their 2020 album, The Slow Rush.

Reviewing their 2022 gig at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, The Music’s Carley Hall complimented Parker’s ability to make an arena show feel like an intimate showcase. Hall wrote:

What Parker has always straddled so well is treating huge audiences such as this to a show that is massive in every sense of the word, that still feels intimate. Little jam sessions that intertwine the set, songs that transport, visuals that bear down on punters like they’re alone in a cinema, even the lead man’s gracious kudos to those before him and those way up in the lofty grandstands all make seeing this stadium-worthy outfit still feel like catching the psyche rock Perth band back in their heyday.

The new album, Deadbeat, was conceived across various locations between 2020 and 2025. It was largely galvanised between Parker’s hometown of Fremantle and his studio, Wave House in Injidup, Western Australia, in the first half of 2025.

Deadbeat finds Parker embracing spontaneity, minimalism, and fun, while utilising a more playful vocal range than ever. The record contains a collection of club-psych explorations amid Parker’s most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date. Deeply inspired by Australian bush doof culture and the local scene in WA, Tame Impala has been transformed into a futuristic primitive rave act on the album.

As a live act, Parker is joined by Dominic Simper on guitar and synthesiser, Jay Watson on synthesiser, vocals, and guitar, Cam Avery on bass guitar, vocals, and synthesiser, Julien Barbagallo on drums and vocals, and Rafael Lazzaro-Colon on percussion.
