Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker will play a DJ set for the lauded electronic music event series Cercle as part of the rollout for the forthcoming Tame Impala album Deadbeat.
The album is out via Sony Music on Oct. 17, with the Cercle set happening on Oct. 10 in a location near Mexico City.
While the exact location will be disclosed only to registered attendees, organizers assure “an immersive sonic and visual landscape, blending Tame Impala’s hypnotic soundscapes with Cercle’s signature cinematic production, turning the performance into a multi-sensory journey unlike any traditional concert,” according to a statement.
Access to this free event is extremely limited. Fans who are able to be in Mexico City for the show can pre-register for the chance for access here.
If you can’t be there in person, don’t fret. As with most all of Cercle’s performances, the Tame Impala DJ set will be recorded and released on Cercle Music’s YouTube channel on Oct. 28, 2025.
Conceived of and produced by Cercle, the event is an apt element of the Deadbeat rollout, given that the album is inspired by the “bush doof” rave culture of Parker’s native Western Australia. A previously released statement on the album notes that Deadbeat recasts Parker’s ongoing project as “a kind of future primitive rave act.” Three singles from the album, “End of Summer,” “Loser” and “Dracula,” have been released thus far.
“Bush doof” refers to the style of counterculture parties that have been happening in Western Australia since the early ’90s, with these events typically happening in remote places in nature and often featuring trance, psytrance and other electronic music subgenres. (The “doof” phrasing comes from the sound the kickdrum makes at such events.)
Cercle, meanwhile, launched in Paris in 2016 and has over the years hosted a long list of celebrated DJ sets from fantastical locations including the Eiffel Tower, a Bolivian salt flat and various mountaintops, castles and points beyond. Cercle also encompasses a record label and the recent Cercle Odyssey event series that brought immersive performances to Los Angeles, Mexico City and Paris.
