King Gizzard Announces 29th Album, Two Tours, One Cancellation
The Australian band's 'Entropy' arrives December 4 on its own p(doom) records label, the lead single 'Rogue Wave' is out now, and two North American tours follow in 2027. The same announcement also killed the band's own Colorado festival.
Most bands announce. This one files a quarterly report.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announced their 29th album Tuesday, alongside two 2027 North American tours and the cancellation of their own festival. [King Gizzard announce 2027 tours, new album 'Entropy']
The album, 'Entropy,' is out December 4 on the band's own p(doom) records, a companion to this year's 'Alien Metal,' with the lead single 'Rogue Wave' out now. Artist presale for the tour starts Wednesday, November 11; general sale Friday, November 13.

The cancellation came tucked inside the same news cycle, in an email to fans: Field of Vision III, the band's own festival in Buena Vista, Colorado, won't happen in 2027, because Meadow Creek and Chaffee County 'were unable to agree upon permit conditions.' Bands usually bury that kind of item. King Gizzard answered it in the same email with four replacement shows — Colorado Springs on August 13, Denver on August 14, Dillon on August 15 and Reno on August 17.

The routing itself is the usual Gizzard excess. The summer leg opens with two nights at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on August 5 and 6, 2027. The fall leg opens October 6 at the Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater in Dallas and closes October 22 at Chicago's Wintrust Arena, passing through Austin, New Orleans, Atlanta, Montreal, Toronto and Cleveland between.

Twenty-nine albums in, the band runs like the small vertically integrated company it is: its own label, its own festival, companion albums cut from the same sessions as the main line, tours announced in pairs. When the festival died on a permit disagreement, the organization didn't lose the Colorado weekend — it rebooked it as three shows within driving distance of the same ground, inside one news cycle.
