Legendary psych-rock phenomenon TAME IMPALA have announced they will play their biggest ever show in New Zealand at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Thursday 16 April.
Joining Tame Impala are Texan genre-defiers, Khruangbin. The sunny instrumental three-piece will warm crowds with their mind-expanding live show.
Led by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, Tame Impala have established themselves as one of Australia’s most astounding
live acts. A meditative, light-infused party of psychedelic euphoria, their live experience is world renowned - last
year impressing at prestigious headlining slots such as Coachella, Glastonbury, Primavera, and Splendour in the Grass.
“Kevin Parker and his sensational band continue to prove that their ever-expanding sound is fit for the biggest of
stages” - NME
“The panoramic sound, trippy light shows, and confetti cannons of Tame Impala’s live shows are the stuff of stoner
legend.” - Pitchfork
“the mind-melting live experience that's made them one of Australia's most treasured and in-demand music exports” – triple j
This April, fans will experience songs from the highly anticipated new album, The Slow Rush to be released February 14. Tantalising with shimmering singles, the most recent ‘Lost in Yesterday’ is “swimming in nostalgia and hooked on a funky rhythm section” (Billboard).
In the wake of 2015’s Currents, (NZ certified Platinum) Tame Impala’s last New Zealand tour the same year saw them sell out venues across the country.
Debuting smash hit ‘The Less I Know The Better’ on tour that year, the anthemic song has accumulated over 450 million streams.
Obtaining global success, Tame Impala boasts a Grammy-Nomination, eight ARIA Awards, and a Brit Award, amongst countless
others. Besides his acclaimed Tame fame, Kevin Parker has also lent his musical genius to collaborations with Mark
Ronson, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Travis Scott.
KHRUANGBIN will open the show marking their New Zealand debut. They will bring songs from 2019’s Hasta El Cielo, along with ‘Texas Sun’, a recent collaboration with fellow Texan, Leon Bridges. A mix of Thai-surf punk, Persian rock music, 1980’s Algerian
symphonia, with a dash of disco, soul, and Balearic music, their hypnotic live show is not to be missed “rich in beautiful psychedelic colour, by extension, it celebrates international culture and unity.” – The Line of Best Fit
Sure to be one of the most exciting shows of the year, experience Tame Impala’s triumphant return to New Zealand this
April!
