Tame Impala presale opens August 26 at 9am for Kevin Parker’s one-off in the round show at Co-op Live in Manchester on May 28 next year. General sale follows on August 28 at 9am, so the first ticket window is narrow and specific.
The Manchester date sits inside a run that also includes two nights at The O2 in London, two shows in Rotterdam, two shows in Paris, and a night in Cologne. Wet Leg will support each headline show, and Rhian Teasdale’s band had recently been on the bill at Manchester’s Sounds of the City festival at Castlefield Bowl.
Co-op Live on May 28
The May 28 show is billed as a special one-off and will be staged in the round at Co-op Live, which is the clearest signal that this is not a standard arena booking. That format typically puts the audience around the performance area rather than facing a single front-of-house stage, so the Manchester date is being presented as a different kind of headline stop rather than just another tour night.
Parker, who released his fifth album Deadbeat last October, has also been nominated for International Group at the BRIT Awards 2026. Tame Impala’s catalog is still carrying commercial weight too: Loser is featured in Spiderman: Brand New Day, while Dracula has emerged as one of the biggest songs in the last year.
Ticketmaster and Gigs
Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster and Gigs & Tours, with the first access split between Co-op Members and Priority from O2 on August 26 at 9am. VIP tickets and hospitality packages for the Co-op Live show will be offered through Seat Unique, giving buyers a separate route from the general ticket pool.
That sales setup matters because the announcement compresses the buying window before the wider general sale on August 28 at 9am. For Manchester fans, the practical move is simple: decide early whether the presale route is the only realistic shot at the May 28 date, because the one-off label and the in-the-round format point to limited demand rather than an open-ended run.
Wet Leg for Manchester
Wet Leg gives the bill an extra layer of draw, and Teasdale’s recent appearance at Castlefield Bowl keeps the support slot from feeling like a random add-on. The announcement also says the new dates are part of a wider European run for 2027, which means the Manchester show is both a standalone event and the opening point in a larger rollout.
That mix of one-night exclusivity and broader routing is the real story here: if you want Co-op Live on May 28, the presale window is the first test, and the general sale two days later is the fallback. The show is being sold as special because it is special, and the ticket clock now decides who gets in.
