Tame Impala

Tame Impala plays OVO Hydro in Glasgow, United Kingdom, on 11 May 2026. Led by Kevin Parker with Dom Simper and Jay Watson, the Australian project has been shaping a singular strain of psychedelic rock since 2008. Parker and Simper started making music together back in school, later joined by Watson, before releasing a first self-titled EP on Modular and opening for MGMT. Innerspeaker (2010) laid the foundations with phased guitars and looping melodies; Lonerism opened the sound and brought it to a wider audience.

On stage, studio-built tracks become a live organism. Guitars and synths coil around steady basslines, drums push the pulse, and Parker’s voice rides the mix with that slightly hazy, melodic edge. The set draws a line from the fuzz and reverb of the early days to sleeker, more rhythm-forward songs, moving between heady psych passages and concise pop turns without losing the thread.

In Glasgow, it’s about the songs and the space they create together: grooves that build, hooks that linger, and dynamics that keep the room in motion. From the first EP to the present, Tame Impala bring a catalogue designed for repetition and release, delivered as a tight, immersive live experience.
