Tame Impala’s Frankfurt Show Leans on Spectacle, Review Says

A Frankfurt critic says the arena staging overshadowed Kevin Parker’s connection with the crowd.

Overview

  • Tame Impala played the Festhalle in Frankfurt with moving light rigs, lasers and confetti used to lift the mood.
  • The reviewer called the performance technically polished but emotionally distant, with a flow that felt arbitrary.
  • The set mixed new electronic songs from Deadbeat, including the viral track Dracula, with older favorites like Let It Happen and Elephant.
  • During No Reply, Kevin Parker briefly left the stage to urinate on camera and then returned to continue the show.
  • The review stressed that Parker records Tame Impala alone and presents it live with a band, noting airy, effect-heavy vocals and a dense mix that sometimes turned muddy.
