Just two months after releasing their 26th album Flight b741, the prolific King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have shared a new single, “Phantom Island,” and are announcing the 2025 Phantom Island orchestral tour. Kicking off in May, the tour will feature a different 28-piece orchestra in each city and will be led by conductor and music director Sarah Hicks. It’ll be the band’s only tour of 2025; to wrap it all up, King Gizz will close out with a three-day residency “camping event” called Field Of Vision, taking place at Meadow Creek in Buena Vista, CO.

Opening up about “Phantom Island,” King Gizzard’s Stu Mackenzie says:

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.

Love, Papa Stu xoxoxox
