About a year after finishing the Innerspeaker Tour in 2011, announced the project's upcoming album Lonerism on July 5, 2012.[1] The announcement was followed by the release of the promo single "Apocalypse Dreams" on July 8, 2012.[2]

Less than a month after releasing "Elephant", Tame Impala would announce a world tour in support of Lonerism with dates slated for fall of 2012.[4]

The second single, "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards", was released on October 1, 2012 and Lonerism was officially released on October 5, 2012 to widespread critical acclaim from fans and music critics.[5][6][7]

On November 26, 2012, Tame Impala announced a dates for a North American leg of the tour slated for early 2013.[8]
