A thread on r/electricforest picked up steam this week after one user noticed an “EF-sized” gap before Tame Impala’s upcoming tour — and, crucially, no shows listed in Michigan. That set off a wave of hopeful (and skeptical) replies from fans who want to see Kevin Parker on the forest stage.
Quick context: phase 2 is festival-speak for the second wave of lineup announcements. With Bonnaroo’s bill mostly out, some Forest fans are crossing their fingers that any remaining big-name bookings will land in that second push.
Highlights from the thread (u/okaybye13):
– “Can we please cross our collective fingers and pray he blesses us with his presence in phase 2????” — original post
– “Sorry to be a downer but that’s not happening” — AyersRock_92
– “I said the same thing! And with Bonnaroo lineup pretty much all the way out, I think we have a good chance lol (or mass amounts of copium)” — etimmons24
– “I will cryyyyyy” — Suspicious_Whole4089
– “That would be amazinggggg” — aubdeadly
– On Detroit history: goth-avocadhoe says Detroit was on the 2020 tour, then the rescheduled 2021 date was canceled and the venue reportedly hosted someone else that night — a frustrating memory that keeps some Michigan fans wary.
What this means: right now it’s pure fan speculation. No official tour stops for Michigan have been announced, and a healthy dose of copium is in the replies. Still, festival lineups are often finished in waves — so if Tame Impala were to be added to phase 2, now’s the time rumors would start heating up.
If you want to keep tabs: follow official festival channels and the band for firm announcements, and keep an eye on the Forest subreddit — it’s where fans catch early whispers and ticket-related chatter.
