Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027

Tame Impala have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 the band is in the middle of its home run of the Deadbeat Tour: four Australian cities in October 2026, starting at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 9 October and ending at RAC Arena in Perth on Sunday 25 October. Nothing has been published for the months after that in this part of the world.

The 2027 dates that do exist are on the other side of the world. The Deadbeat EU/UK Tour 2027 opens at Co-op Live in Manchester on Friday 28 May 2027 and runs through arenas in London, Rotterdam, Paris and Cologne before a string of summer festivals, the last of them NOS Alive in Lisbon on Saturday 10 July 2027. None of these shows are in Australia or New Zealand, and no Australian or New Zealand leg has been attached to them.

This page sets out what is and is not known about Tame Impala's plans for 2027, then tells the long story of the band on Australian and New Zealand stages, from the Perth pub circuit and the 2010 Big Day Out to Laneway headline slots, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, the Sydney Opera House forecourt and the arena tours of 2022 and 2026.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no Tame Impala Australia or New Zealand tour for 2027 as of 9 October 2026. The current Australian run belongs to 2026: the Deadbeat Tour leg was announced on 24 February 2026 with the Australian electronic producer Ninajirachi as support, and it plays three nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre (9 to 11 October), four at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (14 to 17 October), three at Afterpay Arena in Sydney (19 to 21 October) and two at RAC Arena in Perth (24 and 25 October). Those concerts are this year's, not next year's, and they are not a 2027 tour.

The Australian leg also contains no New Zealand date. Auckland last saw the band on 15 October 2022 at Spark Arena, and no show in New Zealand has been announced for the Deadbeat era so far. That could change, but there is no information either way.

What is confirmed for 2027 is Europe and the UK. After the Australian arenas, the published itinerary picks up on 28 and 29 May 2027 at Co-op Live in Manchester, followed by three nights at The O2 in London (1 to 3 June), three at Rotterdam Ahoy (7 to 9 June), two at the Accor Arena in Paris (12 and 13 June) and two at the LANXESS Arena in Cologne (17 and 18 June), with Wet Leg as special guests. Festival dates follow at Open'er in Gdynia on 30 June, Roskilde on 2 July, Rock Werchter on 4 July and NOS Alive in Lisbon on 10 July 2027.

Because the band has just completed a twelve-night arena run at home, a further Australian tour in 2027 would be unusual on past form: the gaps between Tame Impala's Australian headline tours have usually been two years or more. That is a pattern, not an announcement. Treat any list of 2027 Australian dates, any 'presale code' or any ticket listing for 2027 shows with suspicion until the band publishes it.

Before the Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Tame Impala grew out of the Perth music scene. Kevin Parker began the project as a home-recording outlet in 2007, and after signing to Modular Recordings in July 2008 he put a live band together with Dominic Simper and Jay Watson. That first year they supported You Am I, the Black Keys, Yeasayer and MGMT, played Southbound, Meredith and Falls Festival, and headlined their own national tours for the self-titled EP. In 2009 came a sold-out six-date 'Skeleton Tiger' tour of Australia, the first Rottofest on Rottnest Island in August and a national tour for the single 'Sundown Syndrome' in September and October.

The setlist archive's earliest New Zealand entry is the Big Day Out at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on 15 January 2010, part of the Australian and New Zealand run of that festival on a bill with Muse, the Mars Volta and Kasabian. Innerspeaker came out in May 2010, and the band followed it with Splendour in the Grass and a national headline tour in October 2010.

Lonerism, released in October 2012, turned Tame Impala into a much bigger live draw at home. The archive lists the Fremantle Arts Centre on 15 December 2012 and a New Year's Eve show on Phillip Island, then a full autumn tour in 2013: Festival Hall in Melbourne on 26 April, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 2 May, the Brisbane Convention Centre on 8 May, the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 9 May, and a homecoming at the Belvoir Amphitheatre in Perth on Saturday 18 May 2013. That Perth night was Nick Allbrook's last show with the band, at the same venue where he had played his first in 2008, and the band marked it with a cover of OutKast's 'Prototype'.

Currents brought the biggest Australian headline shows to that point. In November 2015 the band played the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on Saturday 7 November, two nights on the Forecourt of the Sydney Opera House on 10 and 11 November, two at the Belvoir Amphitheatre in Perth on 14 and 15 November, two at the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on 18 and 19 November and the Riverstage in Brisbane on 21 November. New Zealand got two nights straight after: the Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland on 24 November and Shed 6 in Wellington on Wednesday 25 November 2015, still the band's only Wellington show in the archive.

After the Laneway run of early 2017 and a Splendour headline in July 2019, the pandemic kept Tame Impala at home but not entirely off stage: the archive lists two nights at Metro City in Perth on 5 and 6 March 2021, sets of around 20 songs that included an AC/DC 'Thunderstruck' cover. The Slow Rush finally toured properly in October 2022, billed as The Slow Rush 2022 V.2 Clinical Trial: Spark Arena in Auckland on Saturday 15 October, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 18 October, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on 20 October, two nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 22 and 23 October, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 26 October and RAC Arena in Perth on Saturday 29 October 2022.

In December 2025 Kevin Parker returned to the same arenas in a different role, playing a Tame Impala DJ set as special guest on Justice's Australian tour: Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Wednesday 3 December, John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Friday 5 December and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Sunday 7 December 2025. Those were DJ sets, not band shows. The full live band came back ten months later for the Deadbeat arena tour, which opened in Brisbane on 9 October 2026.

The table below lists 51 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Tame Impala between 2010 and 2026, with the most shows in Brisbane (8), Melbourne (7), Sydney (7), Perth (7), Auckland (6), Adelaide (5). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Australian and New Zealand festivals have been a constant in Tame Impala's career. Wikipedia lists Southbound, Meredith and Falls in 2008, the first Rottofest in 2009, the Big Day Out in early 2010 and Splendour in the Grass in 2010. The setlist archive adds the 2013 Groovin the Moo regional run (Maitland Showground, the University of Canberra, Bendigo's Prince of Wales Showgrounds, Townsville and Hay Park in Bunbury) and the 2014 Big Day Out, from Western Springs in Auckland on 17 January to Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast, Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Sydney, Bonython Park in Adelaide and Arena Joondalup in Perth.

Splendour in the Grass at North Byron Parklands appears twice in the archive, on 26 July 2015 and on Friday 19 July 2019. Laneway has been just as important: Silo Park in Auckland in January 2013, then a headline run in 2017 at the Brisbane Showgrounds, Footscray Community Arts Centre in Melbourne, Albert Park in Auckland, Harts Mill in Adelaide, Sydney College of the Arts and the Esplanade Reserve in Fremantle, where the band finished on 5 February 2017.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Tame Impala is the psychedelic music project of Kevin Parker, who writes, records, performs and produces the music in the studio. On stage the band is Parker on vocals, guitar and synthesiser with Dominic Simper, Jay Watson, Cam Avery, Julien Barbagallo and James Ireland. The group is closely linked to the Perth band Pond, sharing members and collaborators. Originally signed to Modular, Tame Impala moved to Interscope in the United States and Fiction in the UK in 2015.

Innerspeaker (2010) went gold in Australia and won the triple j J Award; Lonerism (2012) went platinum, won a second J Award, making Tame Impala the first band to win it twice, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. Lonerism was also named album of the year by NME, the first Australian album to receive that honour, and 'Elephant' and 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards' were top ten in the Hottest 100 for 2012.

Currents (2015) was the band's best-selling record, with about 1.3 million copies sold worldwide, and like Lonerism it won ARIA Awards for Best Rock Album and Album of the Year; 'Let It Happen' won the APRA Song of the Year in 2016. The Slow Rush followed on 14 February 2020 and earned five ARIA Awards that November. A month later, in March 2020, 'The Less I Know the Better' topped triple j's Hottest 100 of the Decade.

Between albums Parker has worked with Travis Scott, the Weeknd, Justice and Dua Lipa, co-writing and producing her album Radical Optimism. Deadbeat, the fifth album, was released in 2025 and divided critics, but its single 'Dracula' became a big commercial hit, and its remix with Jennie of BLACKPINK gave the project its first top-ten single on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: the Perth connection

Few touring acts are as tied to one city as Tame Impala are to Perth and Fremantle. Parker began the project there, recorded Innerspeaker at the Wave House on the coast of Western Australia and made much of Lonerism at home in Perth; The Slow Rush was partly recorded in Fremantle. The band's farewell to Nick Allbrook in 2013 happened at the Belvoir Amphitheatre in the Swan Valley, which they returned to for two nights in November 2015.

Perth shows have grown in step with the band: the Fremantle Arts Centre in 2012, Belvoir in 2013 and 2015, Laneway at the Esplanade Reserve in 2017, two Metro City nights in 2021, and RAC Arena in 2022. The Deadbeat Tour closes there again with two RAC Arena nights on 24 and 25 October 2026, the final Australian shows currently announced.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: the Melbourne nights

Melbourne's venues have grown with every Tame Impala era. Festival Hall in April 2013 gave way to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in November 2015 and two nights at Rod Laver Arena in October 2022. For Deadbeat the city gets four consecutive Rod Laver Arena dates from Wednesday 14 to Saturday 17 October 2026, more than any other city on the leg.

Melbourne also hosted one of the three Justice DJ-set nights at John Cain Arena in December 2025, and in earlier years Flemington Racecourse for the Big Day Out in January 2014 and Footscray Community Arts Centre for Laneway in January 2017.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand has seen Tame Impala mostly in Auckland. The archive lists the Big Day Out at Mount Smart Stadium in 2010, Laneway at Silo Park in 2013, the Big Day Out at Western Springs in 2014, the Logan Campbell Centre in 2015, Laneway at Albert Park in 2017 and Spark Arena on 15 October 2022, where the Slow Rush V.2 tour opened its Oceania run.

Wellington has one entry, Shed 6 on 25 November 2015. The Deadbeat Australian leg has no New Zealand date, so a New Zealand show in 2027 would need a new announcement. There is none as of 9 October 2026.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: from 2026 to 2027

The calendar explains why 2027 looks like a year away from home. The Australian Deadbeat arena dates end on 25 October 2026, and the next confirmed concerts are in Manchester on 28 May 2027. Between those points, nothing has been announced in Australia or New Zealand.

For fans this means the October 2026 shows are the current chance to see the Deadbeat production in Australia. If more Australian or New Zealand dates are added for 2027, this page will be updated with the confirmed cities and venues.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

The Deadbeat show in Brisbane on 9 October 2026 ran to 22 songs in the setlist archive. It opened with 'Apocalypse Dreams', moved through 'Borderline', 'Loser', 'Breathe Deeper', 'Elephant', 'My Old Ways' and 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards', and built to 'Let It Happen', 'Eventually' and 'New Person, Same Old Mistakes' before 'Dracula', 'The Less I Know the Better' and 'End of Summer' at the close.

The Slow Rush V.2 shows of October 2022 were a fixed 19-song set: 'One More Year' to open, 'Borderline', 'Nangs', 'Mind Mischief', 'Breathe Deeper', 'Lost in Yesterday', 'Let It Happen', 'Is It True' and 'Glimmer' in the body of the show, and 'The Less I Know the Better' followed by 'One More Hour' at the end. Festival sets such as Splendour in 2019 were shorter, around 13 songs.

Songs that have stayed in Australian sets across every era include 'Elephant', 'Apocalypse Dreams', 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards', 'Let It Happen' and 'The Less I Know the Better'. The full list of the most played songs in Australia and New Zealand is below.

Tame Impala Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales
