Tame Impala Announce Rescheduled 2021 Tour
Tame Impala’s plans to go on tour this summer behind February’s The Slow Rush had to change, like many other artists’, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vocalist Kevin Parker had extensive touring plans, originally planning on making the North American rounds with artists like Clairo and MGMT as openers.
Now the band has revealed their rescheduled dates. Instead of touring this year, they’ll hit the road in the summer and fall of 2021.
Tickets sold for the original dates will be honored at the new shows, and refunds will be available to those who aren’t able to attend. The 21-date run is scheduled to kick off in Mexico City on July 22 and end in Miami on October 18 of the next year. Some other cities that it includes are Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, Washington DC, and more.
The Australian leg of the tour has been also delayed for the second time and will now kick off on December 7, 2021, in Sydney, before moving through Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
Tame Impala released their highly-anticipated album The Slow Rush back in February. The fourth studio album by the Australian musical project follows the 2015 album Currents and the 2019 singles “Patience” and “Borderline”, with the latter serving as the first single from the album.
Tame Impala have shared a live performance video that sees them playing a pair of tracks from an empty HBF Park in Perth.
The performance – in celebration of FIFA 21‘s imminent October 9 release – sees Kevin Parker and co. playing ‘Elephant’ from 2012’s ‘Lonerism’ along with ‘Is It True’ from this year’s ‘The Slow Rush’. The latter will feature on the game’s official soundtrack.
In addition to ‘Is It True’, the FIFA 21 soundtrack will feature the likes of Dua Lipa (‘Love Is Religion’ [The Blessed Madonna Remix]), Alfie Templeman (‘Wish I Was Younger’), Celeste (‘Stop This Flame’), Royal Blood (‘Trouble’s Coming’) and Still Woozy (‘Window’).
