Kevin Parker and co. kicked off their 2025 US arena tour last week (October 27), debuting material from their new album ‘Deadbeat’ and treating the crowd to performances of their recent singles ‘Dracula’ and ‘Loser‘.
They continued the trek with a stop at the Barclays Center on Friday (October 31), with Parker’s touring band all decked out in scarves as a nod to his look in the 2010s. The Halloween festivities also saw comedian and long-time fan Eric Andre make a surprise appearance via the show’s “bathroom cam”, a longtime staple of their sets that allows fans behind-the-scenes visuals throughout the set.
Another surprise of the night saw Parker break out ‘Innerspeak’ track ‘Sundown Syndrome’. Originally released as Tame Impala’s debut single in 2009, Friday’s gig marked its first live outing since 2018.
