Tame Impala brings the Deadbeat tour home
Finally, after taking the Deadbeat tour overseas, Kevin Parker is bringing the show back to Australia for an arena run spanning Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Electronic artist Ninajirachi joins him as the special guest across the Australian dates, adding another local name to one of the year’s major homegrown music tours.
The tour also sees Kevin Parker taking a more open approach to Tame Impala’s live shows, giving his touring band more room to make the songs their own.
“Now we appreciate the live versions as their own thing,” he said, reflecting a shift away from simply recreating the studio recordings and towards letting the music evolve on stage.
