Tame Impala may soon be embarking on a homecoming tour of Australia. Kevin Parker’s project has begun 2026 with a second successive Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, awarded for “End of Summer.”
A New Collaboration
Last Friday, Tame Impala released a remix of the Deadbeat single “Dracula,” featuring vocals from BLACKPINK’s JENNIE.
A social media post this week from Frontier Touring, a division of the Melbourne-based Mushroom Group, hinted at a possible Australian tour. The post featured a poster with the question “End of Summer” and a snippet of the song.
The post was shared in collaboration with Michael Chugg’s Chugg Entertainment, and included the phrase “’ll see you when I see you,” along with a website, endofsummer.au, inviting fans to submit their email addresses for updates.
