Finally.
After tweeting a hardly subtle teaser last week, Tame Impala have announced their biggest tour of Australia and New Zealand to date.
Kicking off in April, the tour will see Tame Impala stopping off in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Acclaimed for their studio albums and live performances alike, Tame Impala graced stages at Coachella, Glastonbury, Primavera and Splendour in the Grass in 2019 alone.
With a new album set for release in February, fans can expect to hear new material amongst the outfit’s acclaimed catalogue when they hit Aussie stages in April.
In addition to the huge tour announcement, Tame Impala have also revealed their support for the upcoming run of shows, with Texan trio Khruangbin set to join them on their jaunt around their homeland and New Zealand.
Like many acts with scheduled Australian shows, Tame Impala also announced plans to donate a large chunk of money to bushfire relief efforts.
“In the past few weeks I’ve been devastated to see what’s been happening with the fires at home and we want to do our bit to help, so we’re going to be donating $300,000 (AUD) to bushfire relief charities,” said Kevin Parker.
“We’re still working through exactly where the dollars will go but I want to ensure that no charity in need during this time is overlooked and that our contribution is helpful for both human and wildlife victims, as well being used actively in climate change research and bushfire prevention,” he added.
