Dallas: Tame Impala at American Airlines Center

Australian psych-pop project Tame Impala plays American Airlines Center in Dallas on Thursday, September 17. Current resale pricing on the secondary market starts around $354, reflecting how quickly this run sold out.

Tame Impala is largely the work of Kevin Parker, a multi-instrumentalist who writes, records, and produces nearly every element of the project’s music himself before assembling a full band for touring. Breakthrough albums “Lonerism” and “Currents” turned dense, psychedelic guitar textures into full-blown dance-pop crossover hits like “The Less I Know the Better” and “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards,” and Parker’s productions and songwriting have become sought-after well beyond his own project, with credits alongside Rihanna, Travis Scott, and Kanye West. Tame Impala’s live shows have scaled up from festival tents to full arena productions built around immersive lighting and visuals.

American Airlines Center has anchored Dallas’s Victory Park development since it opened in July 2001, a roughly $420 million arena built on the former site of a downtown power plant. Owned by the City of Dallas and operated by a joint venture of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, the arena reconfigures for basketball, hockey, or a full concert setup, drawing crowds of up to 21,000 for touring shows.

Expect a heavily visual, immersive arena production built around Parker’s studio-perfect psych-pop textures translated to a full band and light show — a genuine step up in scale from the project’s festival-stage beginnings.

Doors typically open around 5:30 PM ahead of a 7 PM start, with Victory Park’s restaurants and bars nearby for a pre-show meal. This stop is part of a broader run of dates across Texas, making it one of several chances for regional fans to catch the tour this season. As with any large touring show, ticket prices can shift as the date approaches, so booking early is generally the safer bet for the best seats and the widest choice of sections.
