Tame Impala is coming home. Kevin Parker’s genre-defining project has announced four Australian arena dates this October in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth, the long-awaited homecoming leg of the “Deadbeat Tour.” The run follows a massive European stretch beginning in April and a North American run launching July 7th with guests Djo and Dominic Fike. Presales open Wednesday, February 25th, with general on-sale Friday, February 27th at 11 am local time.
‘Deadbeat,’ released in late 2025, is the record behind all of this momentum. Built between Fremantle and Parker’s Injidup studio, Wave House, it arrived with a distinct minimalism and crunch, a more spontaneous creative approach, and a vocal range that pushes Parker into new territory. The response has been unambiguous: “This is the best thing Kevin Parker has ever made,” and the data backs that up. “Dracula” landed at No. 3 on triple J’s Hottest 100, nearly two decades after Tame Impala first appeared in the poll.
The industry has taken notice too. Parker won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “End of Summer” in February, his first solo win in the category. It follows his 2025 trophy in the same field for “Neverender,” his collaboration with French dance legends Justice. A “Dracula” remix featuring Jennie of Blackpink is out now, keeping the album deep in the cultural conversation months after release.
Supporting all Australian dates is Ninajirachi, the Central Coast-raised electronic artist and producer whose debut album ‘I Love My Computer’ swept 2025’s award season. The record took top honours at the Australian Music Prize, the NSW Music Breakthrough Artist Prize, two J Awards including Album of the Year, and three ARIAs. She is the right artist for this moment, on this tour.
