Tame Impala‘s electronic anthem “End of Summer” won the Grammy for best dance/dlectronic recording at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The award was presented by Darren Criss during the Grammy Premiere Ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 1), where the Australian artist beat out fellow nominees Disclosure & Anderson .Paak ‘s “No Cap,” Fred again.., Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax’s “Victory Lap,” Kaytranada’s “Space Invader” and Skrillex’s “Voltage.”
Tame Impala won his first-ever Grammy Award last year for his work on Justice’s Neverender,” which also won for best dance/electronic recording. This 2026 win is Tame Impala’s first ever Grammy win as a solo artist. The artist has previously earned three nominations, all for best alternative music album. Best dance/electronic recording was the only category he was nominated in in 2026.
“End of Summer” comes from the October album Deadbeat, the first Tame Impala album in the artist’s history, which includes four other studio albums dating back to 2010’s Innerspeaker, to be largely electronic. Parker has said that that album was inspired by his experiences in the Australian “bush doof” electronic scene, with “End of Summer” functioning as the LP’s stirring seven-plus minute, multi-movement closer. Tame Impala’s rollout for the album included an event with the famed electronic livestream producer Cercle, which hosted a DJ event with Tame Impala filmed in Mexico City.
“End of Summer” spent five weeks on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, with Deadbeat itself spending three weeks at No. 1 on Top Dance Albums. Album singles “Dracula,” My Old Ways” and “Dracula” also all charted on the Hot 100.
