King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Unveil Orchestral Tour and Debut Track ‘Phantom Island’

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have announced a 2025 US tour where they will be led by conductor and music director Sarah Hicks and backed by a different 28-piece orchestra in each city. To accompany the news, they’ve shared a new single called ‘Phantom Island’. Check it out and find the list of dates below.

King Gizzard released their most recent LP, Flight b741, in August. In a statement, the band’s Stu Mackenzie said: “Hello world. So our last album was 10 songs. Except we recorded 20 in that session. 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! But for real, what a joy to be alive. A privilege to be making music for a living and to be here still after all these years. If you’ve been listening to Gizz for a long time, thank you. We love you so much. If you’re just tuning in, welcome to the cult.”
