Heads up: a Reddit thread on r/shakyknees is buzzing after a user shared that Tame Impala is out of the festival lineup — and folks are split about whether it’s a loss.
The post includes a screenshot of the band’s tour page (shows a July 12, 2026 Atlanta date with special guest Djo) and a stream of reactions from fans. Here’s the vibe in short: some people are bummed, some are relieved, and a few think Djo might actually be the bigger blow.
Selected reactions from the thread:
- Swan_Parade: “Honestly his current tour stage does not really work at a festival so I get it I suppose, still sad though.”
- Dickbob: “Tame Impala is awesome, all these haters in the comments are dorks.”
- paybabyanna: “I looked at vivid seats and the cheapest tickets are $250 I’m devastated.”
- cheezy_dreams88: “I guess Djo is out too.”
- idkAboutYouMan: “Good he hasn’t been good since Currents.”
- No_Investigator9908: “Tame is good, but they’re the most overrated artist ever I swear.”
Why it matters: Tame Impala is one of those acts that can shift a festival’s energy and ticket demand — so a last-minute absence sparks immediate chatter about refunds, replacements, and which act could fill the vibe gap. Some fans pointed out that the band’s current arena setup might not translate to a festival stage, which could explain the decision.
We’ll keep an eye on official announcements from the festival and the band’s team. If you’re going and worried about refunds or lineup changes, check your ticket provider and the festival’s official channels first. Follow the Extra Chill Festival Wire for updates.
