In celebration of their recently released 18th studio album Butterfly 3000, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are going on an extensive tour this spring. The band will perform at four festivals toward the end of March, including Lollapalooza Argentina on March 19, Lollapalooza Brazil on March 26 and the Festival Estereo Picnic on March 27.
In April, the group will then embark on the North American leg of the tour, which starts in Las Vegas on April 17 and hops over the Atlantic on May 31 for a show in Athens, Greece. They will continue to move back and forth between North America and Europe until their final show on Oct. 31 in Oklahoma City. Several of the shows are already sold out, including two in Barcelona and two more at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado.
The band will be joined by Australian punk group Amyl & the Sniffers, who recently shared their latest album Comfort to Me, which was both unapologetic and deeply authentic.
Butterfly 3000 was released in June 2021 and was praised by Ani Khajadourian for “building songs from arpeggiated synth melodies creating happy psych-pop tracks.” The press release similarly describes the album as “ nothing they’ve ever done before, and thoroughly, unmistakeably Gizz, down to its climactic neon psych-a-tronic flourish. This is undoubtedly the most accessible and jubilant album of their career.” Following the album release, the group shared music video for “Interior People” as part of a series in which they intend to release a video for every song of the album, one each week.
