Just weeks after winning their second Grammy, Tame Impala – the invention of one of Australia’s biggest-ever musical exports – have announced they’re headed Down Under for a nationwide tour. They'll be hitting up four cities in October 2026, and if the North American sell-outs are anything to go by, you’ll want to move fast when tickets drop.

Over the past ten-plus years, multi-talented artist and producer Kevin Parker’s bedroom psych project has morphed into a festival-headlining, arena-packing juggernaut, powered by euphoric synths and emotionally loaded hooks that have turned a whole generation of music lovers against Trevor (IYKYK).

As a newly six-piece touring band, Tame Impala is returning to Australia this October with Deadbeat, their fifth studio album, led by singles ‘Loser’, ‘End of Summer’ (which just snagged him a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording) and ‘Dracula’, which landed at No. 3 in triple j’s Hottest 100. Here’s everything you need to know about getting tickets to Tame Impala’s Deadbeat tour in Australia.
