Tour Teasers and Grammy Glory
You might think this is new, but Frontier Touring has been busy. They’ve been teasing the return of Foo Fighters while 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.
Deadbeat: A New Chapter
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.
Live Show Evolution
Back in October 2022, Tame Impala performed at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The Music’s Carley Hall complimented Parker’s ability to make an arena show feel like an intimate showcase. “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,” she wrote.
Grammy Win and Tour Anticipation
Earlier this month, Tame Impala took home their second Grammy Award – for Best Dance/Electronic Recording – for “End of Summer.” This victory adds to the anticipation surrounding their upcoming Australian tour. The teaser on social media yesterday (10 February) read: “I’ll see you when I see you 👀” leading fans to a sign-up link for more information.
So, are you ready for the return of Tame Impala? Will they deliver the same magic that made them legends in the first place?
