The Australian rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard announced their 2024 world tour, which will take them across North and South America, Europe and the UK. Kicking off in March with the Lollapalooza festivals in Argentina, Chile and Brazil, the long trek visits European cities in spring, followed by various stops in North America in summer and fall.
The North American leg of the tour includes five ‘marathon’ shows each, of which will last three hours. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard has a tendency to stage long and energetic live shows, as well as destroying the established concepts in the music world.
Three-hour marathon sets will take place at Forest Hills Stadium in New York from August 16-17, Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island in Chicago on September 1, The Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, Washington on September 14, and Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin on November 15.
Grace Cummings will open the show on select dates in Europe, while the Brighton, U.K. show will host acoustic sets, as well as gigs in Detroit and San Diego.
The band dropped their 25th and most recent album “The Silver Cord” in 2023, and will spend quite an amount of time meeting their U.S. and Canadian fans from August 15 through November 21 at various venues in major cities including Washington, DC, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Vancouver, San Diego, Las Vegas, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, and more. The North American leg will wrap-up with a final stop at Factory Town in Miami.
Formed in 2010 in Melbourne, Australia, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are famous for experimenting with multiple genres in music — from psychedelic rock and progressive rock to pop and heavy metal. They released 25 albums over a span of just 13 years and were ranked No. 21 on a list of the world’s hardest-working musicians. Playing 113 live performances at home and overseas from January 2018 to August 2019 also contributed to the group earning that title.
In just 2017 alone, the group dropped five studio albums – a promise which was fulfilled and followed by several albums per year in 2019, along with five releases in 2022.
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard currently consists of Stu Mackenzie, Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, Lucas Harwood, and Michael Cavanagh.
