Tame Impala Announces North America Summer Tour
By: Kaitlin Milligan Apr. 22, 2019
Fresh off their transcendent Coachella headlining sets, Tame Impala have announced a run of North American Summer Tour Dates. The tour will kick off in Toronto on July 26th and will include stops in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Washington DC and the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 21st. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 26 at 10am local time.
In addition to Coachella, Tame Impala will headline Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA (May 5), Corona Capital (May 11), Boston Calling (May 25), Barcelona's Primavera Festival (May 31), Glastonbury (June 26), Splendour In The Grass (July 19-21), Lollapalooza (August 1-4) and more, with festival and headline dates planned throughout 2019. Full tour dates below.
Ahead of the festival, Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) released new singles, "Borderline" and "Patience," both via Interscope Records. Parker debuted both tracks on Saturday Night Live on March 30.
Tame Impala is Kevin Parker. His last album Currents (Interscope) was released in 2015 earning him a second GRAMMY nomination, RIAA Gold-certification and word-wide critical acclaim. The New York Times labeled it a "a tour de force" and Pitchfork said, "nearly every proper song on 'Currents' is a revelatory statement of Parker's range and increasing expertise as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and vocalist while maintaining the essence of Tame Impala." NPR noted, "[Parker] advocates for constant reinvention... That commitment to evolution helps make Tame Impala an unlikely but worthy candidate for major stardom."
Hailing from Perth, Australia, he first toured the U.S. in 2010, playing small clubs for crowds of 200. A handful of trips to the U.S. later and thanks to the ravenous demand of fans for a transcendent live performance, Tame Impala has gone on to headline festivals and theaters around the world and released three full length albums - Innerspeaker, Lonerism and Currents. As a writer and producer Parker has collaborated with Travis Scott, SZA, Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Kanye West, Kali Uchis, Theophilus London, Miguel, A$AP Rocky and more.
