Tame Impala headlining Citadel Festival (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
Kevin Parker has announced a handful of American dates for Tame Impala after earlier this week the band’s new album The Slow Rush got a confirmed release date of February 14th, 2020.
Tame Impala will play Californian shows in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco between March 9th-13th, 2020, with a sole gig in Mexico City also arranged for March 19th. Clairo is to support throughout the tour while MGMT join them both in Mexico.
The Slow Rush is following 2015’s Currents; “The album’s dark and bouncing thematic closer ‘New Person, Same Old Mistakes‘ admits that a personal metamorphosis should be met with some doubt,” we said of Currents.
“”The track’s cathartic bridge drops in out of nowhere, and proves that Parker has taken a leap not only as a songwriter, but as a producer as well. The production is intricate and unified, every sound is precisely placed, making for a glorious listen on headphones, but these grooves are meant to be felt out on the dance-floor.”
“The sequencing on ‘Currents’ is masterfully crafted; the lyrical narrative slowly unfolds while the music remains consistently engaging throughout the 13-song set.”
Tour dates:
March 2020
9 – Pechanga Arena, San Diego, CA
10 – The Forum, Los Angeles, CA
13 – Chase Center, San Francisco, CA
19 – Foro Sol, Mexico City, MX
