Tame Impala announce UK and European tour dates for 2027 with Wet Leg

Tame Impala have announced a UK and European tour for 2027, with Australian multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker set to bring his project to a string of major venues and festivals, alongside support act Wet Leg.

According to Manchester Evening News, the tour will include a special one-off Manchester show at Co-op Live on May 28 next year. The outlet reports that the show will be held 'in the round', featuring multi-coloured lasers and geometric light rings, a setup similar to Tame Impala's previous performance at the same venue in May.

The News International adds that the UK leg will also include two nights at The O2 in London on June 1 and 2, making for three arena shows in total. From there, the band will play two nights each at Rotterdam Ahoy and Paris's Accor Arena, as well as a show at Cologne's Lanxess Arena and an appearance at Poland's Open'er Festival, according to the same report.

July will see the band perform at Rock Werchter in Belgium and NOS Alive in Lisbon, as reported by The News International.

Album and recent success

The tour follows the release of Tame Impala's fifth album, Deadbeat, which came out last October. The News International describes it as a follow-up to 2020's The Slow Rush. Manchester Evening News notes that the album earned a nomination for International Group at the BRIT Awards 2026.

The band's recent accolades include a Grammy win for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the track "End Of Summer" at the 2026 ceremony, which The News International reports was Parker's second Grammy.

Manchester Evening News also highlights some of the band's biggest hits, including "Loser" — currently featured in the film Spiderman: Brand New Day — and "Dracula."

Kevin Parker first emerged in 2010 with his debut album Innerspeaker, according to Manchester Evening News.

Support act: Wet Leg

Both outlets report that Wet Leg will support Tame Impala on the headline shows. Manchester Evening News describes Wet Leg as a British band led by singer Rhian Teasdale, known for singles including "Chaise Longue" and "Catch These Fists." The News International refers to them as Isle of Wight rockers.

Ticket information

For the newly announced dates, Manchester Evening News reports that tickets will go on pre-sale on Wednesday, August 26, at 9am for Co-op Members and O2 Priority, with general sale on Friday, August 28, at 9am via Ticketmaster, Gigs & Tours, and See Tickets. VIP tickets and hospitality packages for the Co-op Live show are available through Seat Unique, the same outlet adds.

Glastonbury speculation

The News International notes a gap in the touring schedule near the end of June, which the outlet suggests leaves room for a potential Glastonbury appearance. However, the report emphasizes that this is purely speculation at this point.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
