Tame Impala will perform at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena as part of a UK-wide tour next spring.
The tour, which also includes dates in London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin, will support Tame Impala’s (Kevin Parker) much-anticipated fifth studio album, Deadbeat, a record inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene.
Conceived in various locations over the last few years, the album was largely galvanised between Parker’s hometown of Fremantle and his studio, Wave House in Injidup, Western Australia in the first half of 2025.
Renowned as one of the most influential musicians and producers of the last decade, Parker has been nominated for four GRAMMY awards with one win for his collaboration with Justice on 2024’s Neverender. In his home country of Australia, he’s racked up an impressive 13 ARIA Awards and 27 Nominations. He’s won the BRIT Award for Best International Band and scored nominations for two Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award.
As a writer and producer, Parker has collaborated with Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, SZA, Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Mark Ronson, Gorillaz, Thundercat, Kali Uchis, 070 Shake, Rhianna, Miguel, A$AP Rocky and many more.
Tame Impala come to Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on Sat 9 May 2026. Artist pre-sale tickets will be available Wed 1 Oct at 9am. General sale tickets will follow on Fri 3 Oct at 9am.
