Tame Impala's Kevin Parker brought a taste of Australia's doof dance scene to Mexico City's Parque Quetzalcóatl, where he delivered an intimate 90-minute DJ set that would stay with fans forever.
The October 10 performance was part of the album release celebration for Parker's new album 'Deadbeat', which has debuted at number one on Top Dance Albums and featured a collection of dance tracks inspired by his time in the Australian bush doof scene. A crowd of about 50 people, including an "intimately sized group", gathered around Parker to witness this unforgettable moment.
Parque Quetzalcóatl itself is worth noting - a private park that has been under construction for over two decades and features fantastical landscape design. The venue added another layer of uniqueness to the event as captured in newly released video footage, showcasing both the beautiful setting and the energetic set.
During his performance, Parker played an eclectic mix of tracks including songs by artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Daphni, Dog Blood, Rosalia, Orbital, Sonique, and cuts from the Tame Impala catalog. He even brought out his collaboration with Justice, "Neverender", before bringing the set to a close with a haunting rendition of tkT-Traxx's 'Mystery Land'.
In a poignant moment as he began wrapping up the performance, Parker expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the crowd and shared an unforgettable line - "I'm going to remember this forever, I think". He ended the night on high note with Tame Impala's 2025 single “End of Summer”, leaving fans reminiscing about that magical moment in the park.
Meanwhile, 'Deadbeat' has been making waves on charts, debuting at number one on Top Dance Albums and featuring another seven tracks from the album entering the chart this week.

The fact that Kevin Parker's intimate DJ set was more than just a performance – it was an immersive experience with the beautiful Parque Quetzalcóatl setting is truly remarkable 
. The way he seamlessly blended his Tame Impala tracks with other dance classics created this electrifying atmosphere, I'm still buzzing from the energy 
. His ability to connect with such a small crowd yet leave a lasting impact on everyone present is testament to his artistry and genuine passion for music 
.
, can you believe Kevin Parker just brought the whole doof dance scene to Mexico City? 
He totally killed it with that 90-minute DJ set! I mean, who needs a huge crowd when you have an intimate setting like Parque Quetzalcóatl? The park itself is insane 
. Parker's gratitude to the crowd was so sweet, that line "I'm going to remember this forever" gives me chills 
. The album 'Deadbeat' is officially on my radar now 
i loved that he played some unexpected tracks too, like that daphni collab - it's clear he's not afraid to take risks in his music 
... it's clear he poured his heart into this album and the celebration was a labor of love 
. The fact that he's still connecting with fans on such a personal level is truly special 
.
. I love how he's blending all these different styles and genres to create this unique sound that's straight fire 
. And can we talk about Parque Quetzalcóatl for a sec? That place is like something out of a fantasy novel 
. Anyway, back to Kevin - the dude's just got talent pouring out of every pore 
he played so many of my fave tracks by chemical brothers, daphni and dog blood - it was like the whole room just let go and danced together 
but what really got me was when he pulled out that justice collab "neverender" it's such a special song for him and it felt so intimate seeing all those people singing along in this crazy-beautiful park 
anyway, i'm still feeling the vibes from that show - "end of summer" is literally stuck in my head right now 
can't wait to see what kevin has in store next
I was lucky enough to catch some of Kevin Parker's set online 
... and who can blame him? The whole set was infectious! I've been listening to 'Deadbeat' nonstop since its release, that album is a game-changer for Tame Impala 
. The setlist looked fire, though - love that he played some of those classic Chemical Brothers tracks 
. and can we talk about parque quetzalcóatl - it's literally like steambotany from another planet 
. the crowd was so small but intimate, you could feel the energy in the air 
Parque Quetzalcóatl is literally the coolest venue ever, I can see why they'd want to capture the video footage - it's like a whole different world in there 
I don't know how to take a performance like this without even being there! 
The setup in Parque Quetzalcóatl sounds amazing, but 50 people as an "intimately sized group"? Give me a break! 
A video of the whole thing is one thing, but I'm still trying to get a hold of my own DJ setup to make some decent tunes 
Did it even have a proper sound system or was that just him messing around with his laptops like everyone else
