The trek supports his forthcoming album
Following the announcement of his new album Deadbeat, Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) has announced the Deadbeat U.S. Tour in support of the LP. The dates kick off on Halloween with a two-night stand at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, and conclude with a show in Oakland, CA, on November 14th. The run also hits Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on November 11-12.
Pre-sale sign-ups are underway with the general sale on September 12th at noon local time.
Deadbeat is out everywhere on October 17th via Columbia Records. Fans can purchase two web-store exclusive vinyl color variants, an Urban Outfitters exclusive color vinyl, and an indie record store exclusive color vinyl. Limited amount of numbered cassettes to be exclusively sold at Brooklyn Vegan and Alternative Press.
Earlier this week, Parker teased the LP with “Loser” and its accompanying video, directed by Kristofski and which stars Joe Keery. He has also shared the album’s “End of Summer,” a sprawling seven-minute epic and a short-form visual narrative directed by multi-disciplinary artist Julian Klincewicz.
The project sees Parker sculpt a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting. The album is deeply inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene, recasting Tame Impala as a future primitive rave act.
Conceived in various locations over the last few years, Deadbeat was largely galvanized between Parker’s hometown of Fremantle and his studio, Wave House in Injidup, Western Australia, in the first half of 2025. Deadbeat sounds like the work of an artist with a leveled-up mastery, crafted with a newfound embrace of spontaneity for the renowned perfectionist. How that manifests is a distinct minimalism and crunch, with timbres and textures that add an ineffably new dimension to the sound, as well as a richer, more playful vocal range than ever.
Kevin Parker has emerged as one of the most influential voices of the last decade. A singular artist renowned for carving out a distinct sound, Parker crafts transcendent genre-bending sonic landscapes, playing every instrument and acting as writer, producer, mixer and engineer on his projects. He has been nominated for four Grammy Awards with one win for his collaboration with Justice on 2024’s “Neverender.” In his home country of Australia, he’s racked up 13 ARIA Awards and 27 nominations. He’s won the BRIT Award for Best International Band and scored nominations for two Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award. Tame Impala has had numerous US alternative radio top 10 songs, including two No. 1s for “Lost In Yesterday” and “Is It True.” Tame Impala’s “The Less I Know The Better” is part of the Billionaires Club with over two billion streams, and the project has racked up numerous gold and platinum certifications globally.
