Tame Impala is returning to London after four years, bringing psychedelic rock to The O2 Arena next week in support of the latest album Deadbeat. Kevin Parker, the creative force behind the project, will perform newly-released songs such as My Old Ways and Loser, alongside fan favourites like Feels Like We Only Go Backwards and The Less I Know the Better.
The 40-year-old Australian has already played massive gigs across Europe, North America, and his native Australia, drawing tens of thousands of fans each night. This London show marks his first solo appearance in the capital since headlining All Points East in 2022. Since then, Parker has ventured into movie soundtracks, contributing vocals to tracks in Barbie and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. He has also collaborated with Thundercat and Dua Lipa, joining the latter at Glastonbury 2024. Now, he is back with his own music, sending fans into a frenzy. More than 15,000 music lovers are expected to gather for what promises to be an unforgettable night.
When is Tame Impala playing The O2?
Tame Impala will perform at The O2 Arena on Thursday, May 7. Doors open at 6:30 PM, with the main act starting around 8:30 PM. The O2's bars and restaurants open earlier, so there is plenty of time for dinner or a pre-show drink.
Who is the support act?
RIP Magic will support Tame Impala at The O2, as well as at remaining arena dates in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Dublin. This London-based band, though relatively unknown with only 62,000 monthly Spotify listeners, has already made a significant impact. Members Marco Pini, Felix Bayley-Higgins, Beth Boswell-Knight, and Pedro Takahashi have been spotlighted by Tyler, The Creator and Fcukers, and have shared the stage with Chanel Beads, Lolina, Panda Bear, and Fakemink. They recently opened for LCD Soundsystem during their NYC residency. Their set will begin around 7:30 PM.
