On Oct. 10, Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker and an intimately sized group of fans gathered in Mexico City’s magnificent Parque Quetzalcóatl for a DJ set by Parker.
Produced by Cercle, the 90-minute set happened in conjunction with the Oct. 17 release of the new Tame Impala album, Deadbeat, a collection of dance tracks inspired by Parker’s time in the Australian bush doof dance scene.

He likely thus felt fairly at home at Parque Quetzalcóatl, a private park on the outskirts of Mexico City that’s been under construction for more than 20 years and is home to a bevy of fantastical landscape design. Some of the park is visible in the newly released video of the performance, which captures the site along with the 90-minute set.
During it, Parker plays selections by artists including The Chemical Brothers, Daphni, Dog Blood, Rosalia, Orbital, Sonique and cuts spanning the Tame Impala catalog, along with his 2024 Justice collab “Neverender.” The set comes towards a close with the gorgeous 1995 trance track “Mystery Land” by tk T-Traxx, with Parker then thanking the crowd for coming before declaring that “I’m going to remember this forever, I think” and closing the set with Tame Impala’s 2025 “End of Summer.”
