THE LIVE SHOW
What Tame Impala concerts are like
On stage Tame Impala is a five-piece band, and the live versions are heavier and looser than the records. The light show is the headline: lasers, a huge halo of lights above the band and slow-moving colour washes that follow the synth lines. Older guitar-led songs such as Elephant sit alongside the synth-heavy material.
Let It Happen is the moment most people wait for. When the song drops back in, confetti fills the room, and it is one of the best-known concert moments in indie music.
Tips for the Manchester show
- Stand towards the middle of the floor rather than right at the barrier to see the full laser and light layout.
- Much of the set is extended and reworked, so expect long instrumental passages rather than exact album versions.
- The show is loud and bass-heavy; bring earplugs if you are near the speakers.
New to the music? Currents is the album to start with: Let It Happen, The Less I Know the Better and Eventually are all on it.
