Tame Impala kicked off their The Slow Rush tour at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego yesterday, debuting several tracks from the new album that were previously yet to be performed live.
In addition, Kevin Parker and co. performed a cover of Lady Gaga’s 2016 Joanne single ‘Perfect Illusion’, which Parker was a co-writer on. Until last night, the band had yet to perform the track live.
According to setlist.fm, there was a bevy of new songs from the band’s fourth full-length that made their live debut, including ‘One More Year, ‘Reality in Motion’, ‘Posthumous Forgiveness’ and ‘Is It True’, along with Innerspeaker cut ‘Expectation’, which hasn’t been cranked out onstage since 2011.

Tame Impala will embark on a homecoming Australian tour next month, starting with a show at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Saturday, 18th April.
