King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have announced a US orchestral tour taking place in the summer of 2025. They’ve also confirmed a 3-day camping festival in Colorado called Field of Vision going down at the conclusion of their US tour.
The prolific Australian group has played hundreds of shows, but they’ve never done shows with a 28-piece orchestra before. Led by Sarah Hicks, King Gizzard will be joined by a handful of different orchestras for each show of their tour. The summer run of orchestral shows will end with Field of Vision, a new 3-day residency at Meadow Creek in Buena Vista, Colorado taking place from August 15th to 17th. The orchestral shows and Field of Vision will be King Gizzard’s only US performances in 2025.

The seven-date 2025 “Phantom Island” orchestral tour will commence on July 28th in Philadelphia, and continues in New Haven and New York City. After a non-orchestral show at New York City’s Forest Hills Stadium on August 2nd, the orchestral tour will pick back up in Maryland, Illinois, and Colorado, finishing with a show in San Diego on August 11th. The band will then head back to Colorado for the Field of Vision festival. See King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s full list of 2024-2025 tour dates below.
Tickets for King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s 2025 orchestral tour (with the exception of the Highland Park, Illinois date) will go on-sale on Friday, November 1st at 11:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster as well as the band’s website.
In addition to announcing the tour, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have shared a new song, “Phantom Island.” Keeping with the orchestral theme, “Phantom Island” features a string section, horns, and auxiliary percussion, and much more. Across a buoyant, disco-esque groove, “Phantom Island” is a more warm, regal offering from King Gizz, who seem to inhabit a totally different identity with each release. Stream “Phantom Island” below.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are currently celebrating the release of their 26th(!) album Flight b741, which featured a more blues rock-centered sound. They’re about to resume the next leg of their US tour with a show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Friday, November 1st; Afterwards, they’ll make their way through the West Coast, Southwest, and Southeast.
