Fans Complain Tame Impala Still Not Loud Enough At Second Sydney Opera House Show

More Tame Impala Tame Impala Profile

Fans were promised improved sound levels for Tame Impala's second gig at the Sydney Opera House's Forecourt last night following a wave of volume complaints from Wednesday night's performance, but it is alleged those issues were not rectified, as concert-goers again panned the poor volume of the show.

Punters were left seething following the Perth act's second Sydney performance, with many taking to Twitter mid-show to plead with the venue to turn the sound up.

Sydney Opera House management yesterday released a statement following complaints from the Wednesday show advising that "thorough testing of sound levels around all areas" would be undertaken prior to last night's show, but it appears to have done little to appease the thousands in attendance last night. 

The Music has reached out to Sydney Opera House management for comment.

Check out some of the tweets from fans who were at last night's show.
