Kevin Parker is back with something darker, dirtier, and a little more unhinged than before. Tame Impala\u2019s fifth album\u00a0Deadbeat\u00a0lands on\u00a0October 17<\/a>, and it\u2019s already shaping up to be his most club-ready, body-moving project yet.<\/p>\n The new single\u00a0Dracula<\/a>\u00a0is our first proper taste, all slinky synths and shadowy beats, Parker\u2019s vocals threading between menace and euphoria. It sounds like the afterparty you probably shouldn\u2019t have gone to, but you\u2019re glad you did anyway. The video, directed by Julian Klincewicz, doubles down on the theme with water, mirrors, lights, and just the right amount of chaos.<\/p>\n This whole era has its roots in Western Australia\u2019s underground rave scene. Parker has talked about\u00a0Deadbeat\u00a0being inspired by bush doof culture, those sprawling, late-night, DIY parties in paddocks and forests where the bass is endless and reality can wait. Earlier teasers like\u00a0Loser<\/a>\u00a0(with a Joe Keery-starring video) and\u00a0End of Summer<\/a>\u00a0(a seven-minute sprawl nodding to acid house and free parties) already hinted at this shift: Tame Impala as a future-primitive rave act. Still psychedelic, but crunchier, more minimal, and weirdly\u2026 funnier.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s the tour. From Porto to Dublin, April through May 2026, Tame Impala will be hauling\u00a0Deadbeat\u00a0across Europe and the UK, hitting London\u2019s O2, Manchester\u2019s Co-op Live, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Dublin\u2019s 3Arena. If\u00a0The Slow Rush\u00a0was about time slipping through your fingers,\u00a0Deadbeat\u00a0feels like time hitting you square in the chest, sweaty, euphoric, and impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n Tame Impala Tour Dates<\/strong> Tickets for Tame Impala\u2019s 2026 UK and European arena tour, including shows at London\u2019s O2, Manchester\u2019s Co-op Live, Birmingham\u2019s Utilita Arena, Glasgow\u2019s OVO Hydro and Dublin\u2019s 3Arena \u2014 are available now via\u00a0tameimpala.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over the past decade, Parker\u2019s become one of music\u2019s most influential producers, collaborating with everyone from Dua Lipa and SZA to Travis Scott and The Weeknd. But this new chapter feels looser, riskier, sharper.\u00a0Deadbeat\u00a0is the sound of Tame Impala going back to the rave, and dragging us all into the doof with him.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/musicandgigs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/unnamed-3-819x1024.png\")
