After a summer run through Europe, Kevin Parker is set to make his Tampa debut with Tame Impala.
The 40-year-old Australian producer and multi-instrumentalist songwriter—accompanied by an in-the-round set featuring a B-stage—has been playing about two dozen songs each night on the tour supporting last year’s Deadbeat, the project’s first full-length since 2020.
The outing earned him a Grammy award (Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the LP closer, “End Of Summer”), and Tame Impala will be in good company. DJO, the Chicago psych-rock outfit fronted by Joe Keery (yes, Steve from “Stranger Things”) supporting its own 2025 LP, The Crux, opens.
Tame Impala’s Tampa concert at Benchmark International Arena on Thursday, July 9 is sold-out.
