After taking out the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the song ‘End of Summer’, Kevin Parker is finally taking Tame Impala’s latest record Deadbeat on the road across Australia.
Preceded by the singles ‘Loser’, ‘End of Summer’ and ‘Dracula’, Deadbeat dropped late last year to mixed reviews. Despite this, the album was a commercial success, peaking at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and hitting the top spot on the Billboard Top Dance Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums Charts.
Touring North America last year with a new six-piece band behind him, Parker has announced a run of shows across the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada before returning home for four shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, with little old Adelaide missing out once again.
Tame Impala’s Deadbeat tour takes in Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Saturday 10 October, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 14 October and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Monday 19 October, with the final show at Perth’s RAC Arena on Saturday 24 October.
Frontier member pre-sale runs for 24 hours or until pre-sale allocation is exhausted from Wednesday 25 February at 9am AEDT. Register here. General on-sale takes place on Friday 27 February at 11am AEDT via frontiertouring.com.

Gaining a legion of fans across the world, Tame Impala became a global phenomenon in 2020 with the release of The Slow Rush, an album which debuted at #1 in multiple territories and became Tame Impala’s highest-charting album to date in the US, UK and Canada.
Parker has also found more success as a writer and producer, working with the likes of Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, SZA, Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Mark Ronson, Gorillaz, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and many more.
