Background

After releasing the singles "Patience", "Borderline" and finishing their 2019 World Tour, Tame Impala would formally announce The Slow Rush on 25 October 2019.[1]

Three more singles, "It Might Be Time", "Posthumous Forgiveness", and "Lost In Yesterday" would be released until the release of the album on 14 February 2020.[2]

The initial Slow Rush Tour would be announced on December 9, 2019. However, only three dates were performed before the rest were ultimately cancelled or rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]

Rescheduled "Phase 1 Rushium Trials" tour dates along with extra dates were announced on June 22, 2021,[5][6] with further "Slow Rush 2022 V.2 Clinical Trials" 2022 dates for North America, Europe, and Oceania being announced on December 7, 2021.[7]
