King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announce rave and orchestral sets on Europe

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are about to bring a run of rave and orchestral sets to Europe on an upcoming autumn tour.

The rave sets will primarily focus on their 2023 album The Silver Cord, with electronic-driven and synth-heavy performances. In the remaining shows, the prolific outfit will perform new tracks from their upcoming orchestral album, Phantom Island, as well as tunes from their extensive back catalogue.

The Australian sextet released the lead single and title track from their upcoming album, "Phantom Island", last October. It serves as a second part to their last LP, Flight b741, including 10 outtakes from the recording sessions of that record, but with added orchestra.

The EU/UK Autumn pre-sale starts at 10am on April 2 and go on general sale on April 4 at 10am BST. Find your tickets here. They have promised to tour in Australia soon on their Instagram Stories. "Australia we will be touring Australia soon and we will announce as soon as we can!!! It's gonna be wild," they wrote.

Before the European rave and orchestral shows, the genre-bending group are setting up to kick off an EU residency in May and June. Then starting in July, they will head to the US for the Phantom Island tour. Check out all the dates below:
