Tame Impala Opening Act 2026 — Who is the Support?

How to confirm the Tame Impala opener for your date

Support acts are added to a listing when the promoter supplies them, and they can differ from city to city. A listing that shows only Tame Impala's name does not prove there is no opener — check the seller listing and the venue's announcement for your date before planning around a support set.

A ticket normally covers the whole advertised bill for that event; the listed start time is the event start, not a confirmed opener or headliner time. All Tame Impala tour dates · Tame Impala setlist

Tame Impala Opening Act — FAQ

About Tame Impala

Kevin Parker was born in Sydney in January 1986 and raised in Perth, Western Australia, the city whose isolation — five hours by plane from anywhere — gave Tame Impala its earliest reputation as a strange, self-contained sound that did not match what was happening in Sydney, Melbourne, London or New York at the time. Parker formed Tame Impala in 2007 as a home-recording project after years of playing in Perth bands including Mink Mussel Creek and The Dee Dee Dums, signed to Modular Recordings on the strength of an early self-titled EP that went around Australian community radio in 2008, and released the debut full-length Innerspeaker in May 2010 to immediate critical attention — a sun-bleached, Lennon-leaning psych-rock record built almost entirely on Parker's bedroom production. Lonerism followed in October 2012 and was the breakthrough: Feels Like We Only Go Backwards, Elephant, Mind Mischief and Apocalypse Dreams won the band the ARIA Award for Album of the Year, a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, and a place on nearly every critical end-of-year list in the English-speaking music press. Currents, released July 2015, was the pivot that broke Tame Impala out of the indie-rock circuit and into the mainstream pop production landscape — Parker shed most of the guitar layers, foregrounded analogue synthesisers and falsetto vocals, and built a 51-minute concept record about a relationship ending and a self being remade. Let It Happen, The Less I Know the Better, New Person Same Old Mistakes, Eventually and 'Cause I'm a Man were the singles; the album won the ARIA Album of the Year again, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album, and has since gone double-platinum in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Slow Rush followed in February 2020, a meditation on time and aging that produced Borderline, Lost in Yesterday, Posthumous Forgiveness, Breathe Deeper and It Might Be Time and topped the chart in Australia and the UK. Deadbeat, released in 2024, returned Parker to a more rhythm-forward, dance-music-adjacent palette and was supported by a touring cycle that ran through 2024 and 2025. Between the studio albums Parker has built a parallel career as a top-tier collaborator: he co-wrote and co-produced large sections of Mark Ronson's Late Night Feelings (2019) and Uptown Special (2015), played and produced on Travis Scott's Astroworld (2018, the Skeletons co-write), wrote and produced for Lady Gaga's Chromatica, contributed to The Weeknd's Starboy and After Hours, worked with A$AP Rocky on the Testing era, scored cuts on Kali Uchis' Isolation, and was sampled outright by Rihanna whose Anti version of New Person, Same Old Mistakes — retitled Same Ol' Mistakes — gave Parker his first global pop number-one writing credit. Across the run Tame Impala have won six ARIA Awards, been nominated for five Grammys, headlined every major festival on the global circuit, and sold out arenas and amphitheaters across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia. Parker has done it all without ever moving out of Fremantle, without ever signing a publishing deal that surrendered control of his masters, and without releasing a record under his own name — every studio record across two decades has come out under the Tame Impala banner.
