- Tour timing: A gap aligning with Lolla weekend would be a strong sign, but we haven’t seen official dates yet.
- Routing differences: The new leg doesn’t repeat last year’s cities, which both fuels hope and raises questions.
- Production logistics: Tame Impala’s in-the-round setup complicates quick festival turnarounds — that sort of show isn’t always easy to transplant to a big outdoor stage.
- Money talks: Several commenters noted many artists skip festivals because touring can be more lucrative than one-off festival payments — so a tour-heavy year doesn’t guarantee festival appearances.
- Official tour dates and any mid-summer gaps that could line up with Lollapalooza weekend.
- Lollapalooza’s lineup announcements (and any hints from the festival’s booking partners).
- Routing near other North American festivals like Osheaga — back-to-back festival runs are common if routing allows it.
