Kevin Parker releases Dracula and announces 2026 UK Europe arena tour

Kevin Parker, the Australian musician behind Tame Impala, released a new single called "Dracula" on Friday and announced a UK and European arena tour that begins April 4, 2026, in Porto and runs through May 13, concluding in Dublin. The announcements accompany news that Tame Impala's fifth studio album, Deadbeat, is due October 17 and will be supported by the extensive run of shows.

Parker unveiled "Dracula" as the latest preview of Deadbeat, following earlier singles "End of Summer" and "Loser." The new track pairs Parker's signature vocal style with a thumping, house-adjacent beat and nods to underground rave culture. "Daylight makes me feel like Dracula," Parker sings on the song. A visually striking video directed by Julian Klincewicz was released alongside the single, and the artist has described the album as a more club-focused evolution of his psych-pop sound, drawing heavily on Western Australia's rave and bush doof scenes.

The European leg spans more than 20 cities across April and May, with major arena stops in Madrid, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam before the UK dates. The British run begins at The O2 in London on May 7, followed by Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow,...
