Tame Impala Add European Dates Following ‘Spiderman: Brand New Day’ Success

Tame Impala have confirmed a series of 2027 European dates, where Kevin Parker and his bandmates will present their signature Deadbeat “in the round” stage show. The tour will include a mix of headline and festival appearances, kicking off May 28 in Manchester, England and boasting a two-night stand at The O2 in London on June 1 and 2. Wet Leg will open all headlining dates.

The announcement arrives as Tame Impala continues to crossover into different corners of the pop-culture zeitgeist. “Loser,” a tune from last year’s Deadbeat, is featured in the blockbuster film Spiderman: Brand New Day and recently hit No. 1 on the Global Spotify chart. It also is currently sitting in the Top 25 on Billboard's Hot 100, while “Dracula (with JENNIE)” remains in the Top 10 on the chart after peaking at No. 5.  “Dracula” has also been nominated for Best Alternative at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.

Deadbeat already scored Parker a Grammy award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the lead single “End Of Summer,” the only track eligible for the 2026 Grammys due to the LP’s late 2025 release date.  He also picked up a BRIT Award nomination for International Group of the Year.

Futurebirds Share Visualizer Video, Announce Year-End Tour

Back in June, Futurebirds released their double album, Far Out Country. At that time the band described the album as “split into two distinct worlds of Far Out Country I & II—a restless, sunlit day and a deeper, more interior night that blends psychedelic country-rock, indie and something that feels less like a genre than a place.”

Brad Cook produced the recording, which Dualtone issued on double vinyl. At that time Far Out Country I became available via streaming and on September 4, the second half will follow.  Ahead of this the band has released an official visualizer video for “Marco Polo I.” This song appears on  Far Out Country I, while “Marco Polo II” is on Far Out Country II. The band’s Daniel “Womz” Womack explains, “When I was writing ‘Marco Polo,’ I wanted it to be nostalgic, but also present and moving forward, looking ahead with wisdom gained from our experiences, rather than looking back at the old. This visualizer captures the feeling and familiarity of the past with a futuristic look at what comes next down the road and is the perfect bridge between Far Out Country I and II.”

In addition, the band has confirmed a series of tour dates that will extend through the end of the year. Futurebirds will travel through their native South in November and December, eventually welcoming 2027 from the stage in Charleston, SC at the Charleston Music Hall. The group’s complete tour itinerary appears below the visualizer.

Iris DeMent, Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams Join Big Thief at the Ryman for Show Devoted to Forthcoming Album

On Saturday in Nashville, Big Thief’s performance at the Ryman Auditorium took a surprising and satisfying turn. Early on, Adrianne Lenker informed the audience in a welcoming manner, “If you had some hopes of hearing some songs you might know those can be discarded.” She then added, “If you’re all open to it, it could be a really unique night of music.” The trio, which also consists of Buck Meek and James Krivchenia (along with touring bassist Joshua Crumbly) then delivered the 29 songs from the group’s forthcoming album Horsepower.

Lenker noted that Horsepower was recorded in Nashville last May. She also explained to the audience that the performance would not follow the sequencing of the record, although it did feature a number of the musicians who joined Big Thief in the studio. This included an expanded version of their core band with pedal steel players Greg Leisz and Russ Pahl, along with violinists Richard Bowden, Hannah Read and Zosha Warpeha.
