Despite Tame Impala‘s massive popularity in the band’s home country, it’s been more than a little while since Kevin Parker and the company’s last performed Down Under.

Having played Australia’s largest music festival  Splendour in The Grass in 2019 and Laneway Festival in 2017, the last time the band independently toured was following the release of Currents in late 2015.

This situation, however, looks like it is about to change.

A new post via Tame’s official Twitter account shows a mockup of what appears to be fan footage from one or several of Tame Impala‘s Australian performances accompanied by Australian flag emojis.

Tame Impala and label spinning top have also invited fans to follow a link to an email alert promising to reveal further details on January 20 – which is, uncoincidentally, Kevin Parker’s birthday.

With the group’s US tour dates already announced and no doubt keeping Tame Impala occupied the group until August 7, it seems that any tour would take place mid-to-late August at the earliest.

With Tame Impala’s fourth album The Slow Rush dropping in February all that will be commented here is that it might be time.
