Something big is coming for Australian music fans this year. Social media started buzzing, fan pages went wild, and group chats suddenly became active again. If you have even one friend who loves psychedelic music, chances are you already heard whispers about this. And yes, it’s finally official.
After months of guessing and hoping, Tame Impala is heading back home for a massive Australian arena tour in October 2026. And this one feels different. Bigger. More emotional. Almost like a victory lap.
Let’s break it down in simple words so you know exactly what’s happening and why fans are so excited.
When Is Tame Impala Touring Australia in 2026?
If you’re searching for exact dates and cities, here’s everything clearly laid out.
The 2026 Australian run, officially called the Deadbeat AUS Tour, will take place in October 2026 and hit four major cities. These are proper arena headline shows and they are all licensed and all ages, which means younger fans can attend too.
Here are the confirmed stops:
- Saturday 10 October – Brisbane Entertainment Centre (Boondall), QLD
- Wednesday 14 October – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, VIC
- Monday 19 October – Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW
- Saturday 24 October – RAC Arena, Perth, WA
This marks Kevin Parker’s first Australian headline arena shows of the Deadbeat era. After touring heavily across North America with several sold-out dates, plus upcoming UK and European shows and another US and Canada leg mid-year, it is finally Australia’s turn. And honestly, fans here have been waiting.
How Can I Get Tame Impala 2026 Tickets?
This is the most searched question right now, so here’s the full breakdown in simple words.
Tickets will be released in two stages.
- Frontier Member presale begins Wednesday 25 February at 9:00am local time.
The presale runs for 24 hours or until the allocated tickets are sold out.
Fans can register and access presale through the official tour page at https://www.frontiertouring.com/tameimpala.
- General public tickets go on sale Friday 27 February at 11:00am local time.
Once sales open, tickets can be purchased directly from Ticketek Australia at https://www.ticketek.com.au/tame-impala
for all cities.
It’s very important to use these official links only. Buying from unofficial resellers can be risky and prices are often much higher.
Official Tame Impala 2026 Ticket Prices
Based on the latest venue updates from Ticketek and Frontier, here is the breakdown of what you’ll pay:
- GA Standing / A-Reserve Seating: $199.90
- B-Reserve Seating: $159.90
- C-Reserve Seating: $119.90
- Deadbeat Early Entry (VIP Packages): $349.90
Note: Prices include GST but may be subject to additional booking fees and a $0.30 carbon offset contribution which Kevin Parker supports for all his tours.
All tickets are available via official sellers including Ticketek. Fans are strongly advised to buy through authorised platforms only.
Considering the global demand on earlier legs of the Deadbeat Tour, it would not be surprising if some Australian dates move quickly. If you really want to go, it’s better to be ready when sales open because arena shows can fill up faster than expected.
Where Tame Impala Is Performing Across Australia in 2026
Each venue selected is one of Australia’s biggest indoor arenas. These are not small theatre shows. These spaces are built for large-scale production, high ceilings, massive LED rigs and full stage design.
Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre in Boondall is known for hosting major international acts. Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne is one of the country’s most iconic concert venues. Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena at Olympic Park regularly handles global tours. And RAC Arena in Perth feels especially meaningful because Western Australia is Kevin Parker’s home state.
For Perth fans, this one might feel extra special. It’s a bit like welcoming your own back after he conquered the world.
What Is the Deadbeat Album and Why Is It Important?
The tour celebrates Deadbeat, Kevin Parker’s fifth studio album released in late 2025. The record shows a noticeable sonic shift. It sounds leaner, slightly crunchier, and more spontaneous compared to previous albums, but still clearly Tame Impala.
Key singles include:
-
Loser
-
End of Summer
-
Dracula
“Dracula” became one of Parker’s strongest radio debuts ever and even landed at number three in triple j’s Hottest 100, almost twenty years after Tame Impala first appeared in that poll. That kind of longevity is rare.
The Jennie (BLACKPINK) Connection: While the original version of “Dracula” dominated the charts in late 2025, the song reached a whole new level of global fame on February 6, 2026. Kevin Parker surprised fans by releasing an official remix featuring BLACKPINK’s JENNIE. The collaboration, which features Jennie's signature rap verse and dreamy vocals, peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Global 200 and has made "Dracula" a massive stadium anthem. Fans are already speculating if Jennie might make a surprise appearance during the October tour.
Much of the album was created between Fremantle and Parker’s own WA studio, Wave House in Injidup. So in many ways, this project has deep Western Australian roots. It feels homegrown, which makes this Aussie arena return even more meaningful.
Earlier this year, Parker also picked up his first solo Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “End of Summer.” That came after his 2025 win in the same category for his Justice collaboration “Neverender.” It’s clear he is operating at full creative power right now.
Who Is Supporting Tame Impala on the 2026 Tour?
Every show on the Deadbeat AUS Tour will feature support from Sydney electronic producer Ninajirachi.
She is not just an opening act filling time. She arrives with serious momentum. Her debut album I Love My Computer dominated 2025, winning the Australian Music Prize, multiple J Awards, and three ARIA Awards. That makes her one of the most decorated breakout artists in recent memory.
Her energetic electronic style actually complements the more dance-leaning direction of Deadbeat. Fans attending early global dates have said the atmosphere feels more like a full night experience rather than just a headline slot and support. That energy is expected to carry over into the Australian run.
Why the Deadbeat Era Makes This Australia Tour Extra Special
Tame Impala started as Kevin Parker’s home studio project. He played and recorded most instruments himself. Now he is selling out arenas across continents and bringing that same show back to Australia.
There is something emotional about that journey.
The international rollout has already been described as massive. Sold-out North American dates, strong demand overseas, award recognition, and now a full arena sweep at home. It feels like the moment where global success meets hometown pride.
For longtime fans who discovered Tame Impala in the early days, seeing the project headline Rod Laver or Qudos Bank Arena feels almost unreal. And for new fans who found the music through TikTok or streaming playlists, this will be their first chance to experience the full arena production live.
Either way, October 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark moment.
