Australian rock band Tame Impala will play their first Twin Cities show in more than seven years when they headline Minneapolis’ Target Center on Aug. 28.

Tickets go on sale at noon Feb. 20 through Axs. Rapper/actor Dominic Fike (“3 Nights,” “Mona Lisa,” “Mama’s Boy”) will open.

The brainchild of singer/songwriter Kevin Parker, Tame Impala emerged in 2010 with a psychedelic rock sound that started turning heads abroad from their very first single. Parker wrote and performed most of the band’s debut album “Innerspeaker,” earning widespread praise from Australian fans and press, and landing some fans around the world in the process.

“Lonerism,” Tame Impala’s sophomore disc, arrived two years later to almost worldwide acclaim. That led to a deal with Interscope Records, which released “Currents” in 2015. That record saw Parker exploring electronic sounds, which he continued to do with 2020’s “The Slow Rush,” which earned the band their third best alternative music album Grammy nomination.

In the years since, Parker has collaborated with a number of artists including Diana Ross, Gorillaz, Thundercat and Dua Lipa. Last year, Parker won his first Grammy for best dance/electronic recording for “Neverender,” which he made with French duo Justice.

Parker moved to a new label, Columbia Records, for Tame Impala’s fifth album, “Deadbeat.” He has said he drew influences from the Australian rave scene while making the record, which has earned mixed reviews. But the single “End of Summer” did win him his second Grammy.

Tame Impala headlined First Avenue in 2013 and 2015 and sold out two shows at Surly Brewing Festival Field in 2019. The band was set to make their local arena debut at the former Xcel Energy Center in July 2020, but the show was ultimately canceled due to the pandemic.
