King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announce Orchestral Tour, Share New Song “Phantom Island”

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have detailed a new run of 2025 U.S. shows. Next summer, they’ll play shows with conductor and music director Sarah Hicks and city-specific orchestras. For example, a show at Columbia, Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion will feature Washington, D.C.’s National Symphony Orchestra, and the Colorado Symphony will play with the band at Colorado Springs’ Ford Amphitheater. Still, in Forest Hills, New York, and Buena Vista, Colorado, they’ll fit in traditional rock’n’roll shows. See King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s tour dates below.

To go with the tour announcement, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have shared the new song “Phantom Island,” which follows the August album Flight B741. “So our last album was 10 songs. Except we recorded 20 in that session,” frontman Stu Mackenzie explained in a press statement. “Here’s a track from the other set of 10. It’s even more maxxed out than the last one. There’s a whole fuckin’ orchestra on there. Hahahahahah!” Listen to the track below.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard remain on tour, and their next show takes place on Friday, November 1, at Inglewood’s Kia Forum. All of their shows are streamed lived for free on their YouTube channel.
