Background

[edit]

After releasing the singles "Patience" and "Borderline", Tame Impala would embark on their 2019 World Tour in buildup for the release of the yet to be announced fourth studio album, The Slow Rush.

On 14 November 2018, it was revealed that Tame Impala would headline Shaky Knees Festival in 2019 alongside Beck, Cage The Elephant, and Incubus.[6]

On 29 January 2019, Tame Impala announced dates for the tour,[8] with tickets going on sale 1 February 2019.

Additional dates in the summer were announced on 22 April 2019.[9]

Three more singles, "It Might Be Time",[10] "Posthumous Forgiveness",[11] and "Lost In Yesterday"[12] would be released until the release of the album on 14 February 2020.[13]

The initial Slow Rush Tour would be announced on December 9, 2019. However, only three dates were performed before the rest were ultimately cancelled or rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[14][15]
