Tame Impala vie for ARIA Awards on 18 November

Tame Impala is among the nominees for the 2026 ARIA Awards, which will crown winners on 18 November 2026 at The Hordern Pavilion. The published list gives the project eight nominations across album, pop, dance and alternative categories.

ARIA Awards ceremony sets 18 November date

The 2026 ceremony will mark the 40th ARIA Awards and recognise artists across 29 categories. At the 18 November ceremony, Tame Impala will stand among the leading nominees alongside Genesis Owusu, who also has eight nominations. The ARIA nomination list names the ceremony as the 40th anniversary edition, presented in partnership with Spotify.

The awards will be presented at The Hordern Pavilion, with the winners announced during the ceremony. The programme covers 29 categories, while the public-voted awards include Song of the Year, Best Video, Best Australian Live Act and Most Popular International Artist.

Tame Impala’s nominations span album and singles

On 18 November 2026, Tame Impala will contend in Album of the Year, Best Solo Artist, Best Pop Release, Best Dance or Electronic Release, Best Alternative Release and Song of the Year. The project also has nominations for Best Engineered Release and Best Produced Release, with Kevin Parker named in both technical categories.

The spread connects the album and its individual songs. Deadbeat is listed for Album of the Year, Best Solo Artist and Best Alternative Release, while Dracula appears in Best Pop Release and Song of the Year. Afterthought is named in Best Dance or Electronic Release.

Deadbeat links the ARIA categories

The nominations centre on Deadbeat, identified by ARIA as Tame Impala’s fifth studio album and a Columbia Records and Sony Music release. The record therefore appears in both the album field and the technical categories connected with its production.

The act’s official music page presents Deadbeat as its featured listening entry. The ARIA nominations also place Parker’s work across pop, electronic and alternative fields, reflecting the range of categories attached to the project at the 18 November ceremony.
