Tame Impala

During the live recording at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend on May 28, 2016, Tame Impala was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, "Currents," which had been released nearly a year earlier, in July 2015. This album marked a significant evolution in the band’s sound, incorporating more synth and electronic elements compared to their earlier, more guitar-driven work. At this event, they performed notable tracks like "Let It Happen," "The Less I Know the Better," and "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards," all of which showcase the changed sonic landscape of "Currents." The performance exemplified their growing popularity, further establishing them as a major force in modern psychedelic rock. Interesting to note is that this era also saw Tame Impala transitioning into a dynamic live act, with Kevin Parker’s evolving on-stage presence signaling his confidence as a frontman, allowing the band to captivate audiences around the world.
