In May 2016, Tame Impala took the stage at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, held at Powderham Castle in Exeter, England. This performance captured the Australian psychedelic rock project, led by multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, at a pivotal moment. The band was touring in support of their critically acclaimed 2015 album *Currents*, which marked a significant evolution in their sound, blending psychedelic rock with disco, R&B, and synth-pop.
The setlist for the Big Weekend show was a vibrant showcase of this new era, featuring standout tracks from *Currents* like the epic opener "Let It Happen" and the infectious groove of "The Less I Know the Better." These newer songs were seamlessly woven with established fan favorites such as the stomping, fuzz-driven "Elephant." Tame Impala's live shows from this period were renowned for their immersive audiovisual experience, combining Parker's reverb-laden vocals with mesmerizing, colorful light shows and psychedelic projections that created a truly magnetic and trippy atmosphere. This festival appearance was a testament to their rising status as a major international act, delivering a polished and powerful set that solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting live bands in the world.
