Excitement is building among Coachella fans as Tame Impala teases a big move for 2026. Wheatpaste posters promoting the band’s upcoming album, dropping September 3, 2025, have surfaced in major cities like Los Angeles and New York City, igniting speculation about a headliner or Return to the Desert (RTTD) slot at next year’s festival.
This buzz follows Kevin Parker’s first public performance of new material during a DJ set in June 2025 at Barcelona’s Nitsa Club, adding momentum to the rumors. Tame Impala’s last Coachella headliner spot was in 2019, and their recent single “End of Summer” released on July 25, 2025, hints at a major comeback on the horizon.
While some fans are divided on the latest singles, the overall anticipation for a full new album and a festival return remains high. So far, the band’s official subreddit has stayed silent on these developments, keeping the community eager and buzzing with hopeful chatter.
Meanwhile, an unofficial mock lineup circulating online puts Tame Impala alongside acts like Foo Fighters and Sabrina Carpenter, feeding fan discussions and wishlist dreams for Coachella 2026. Despite all the excitement and promotional clues, no official confirmation about Tame Impala’s Coachella appearance has landed yet.
