King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has already announced some of its biggest shows to date for 2024, but the itinerary has grown massively with the announcement this morning (Nov. 7) of its full routing. The Australian sextet will return to the road in mid-March at the Argentina and Chile versions of Lollapalooza South America and has nearly 60 dates on the books through Nov. 21 in Miami.
Following the South American shows, Gizzard will embark on a European leg May 15 in Brussels and return home following a June 4 appearance at Milian’s UNALTROFESTIVAL. North American shows get underway Aug. 15 in Washington, D.C., and include the band’s first proper North American arena show on Nov. 1 at the Forum in Los Angeles.
“Let’s get woke, freak out the right-wingers, and love each other,” the group wrote on Instagram. Tickets go on sale beginning Friday (Nov. 3).
Gizzard will also play rare acoustic sets on Aug. 23 in Detroit and Nov. 2 in San Diego, in addition to previously revealed three-hour marathon sets in Hamburg, Forest Hills, N.Y., Quincy, Wa., Chicago, and Austin. The group’s latest album, the synth-dominated The Silver Cord, was released in late October as the companion to June’s thrash/prog/metal project PetroDragonic Apocalypse.
“From where I’m sitting, honestly, it all feels very abstract,” group member Stu Mackenzie recently told SPIN of Gizzard’s dramatic increase in popularity over the past four years. “It’s insanely flattering and humbling and just freaky, but it sometimes feels like it’s happening to someone else and I’m just acting this part. Really, I’m extremely grateful, because we get energy from the whole thing. It’s like a beautiful spiral of positivity. As long as people are willing to come watch us play, I’m pretty sure we’re going to just keep playing.”
