[POSTPONED: October 23, 2021] King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard / Leah Senior [rescheduled from May 22 and then October 22, 2020; moved to October 22, 2022]
On May 24, King Gizzard announced that they were pushing back this tour for another year. It seemed surprising since everyone else is filling in tour dates this fall, but they made a valid point
We’ve made the (very hard) decision to reschedule our USA/CAN tour once again.
This was an extraordinarily tough decision to make but I hope y’all can understand the complexities that come with a giant tour of the States and Canada with a 6 piece band and a 6 person crew from Australia during a pandemic.
We’ve tried our hardest to reschedule as many of these shows as possible at the same venues. That means your ticket will still be valid if you want to go.
For our NY show, we’re unfortunately going to be canceling it, you will be given a full refund and will have to buy a new ticket at the new venue. Sorry! It’s bigger though so everyone should be able to get tickets. Exciting news on that and other new shows coming soon! 🙂
If you’d like a refund contact your local venue as soon as you can to arrange.
Thanks to every gizzhead for your ongoing support and love. We will get back on the road as soon as we can.
Love king gizz Xoxox
I was bummed when KGATLW had to postpone a show in May. I mean, come on, Coronavirus, would certainly be over by May, right? Well, now it’s October and things are still crazy. I really hope they can do this again next year.
Of course, knowing them, they’ll have three more albums out by then.
I have become a huge fan of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (are there any other kinds of fans of them?) since I first heard about them a few years ago.
I’m sad that I missed them on the tour just before the first time I saw them (at a smaller venue when newbies like me hadn’t heard of them yet), but I have seen them twice since.
In both cases, the band overcame somewhat unpleasant (to me) situations (obnoxious capacity crowds and unreasonable heat) to change my mind from swearing I’d never bother seeing them again (before the show), to hoping they’d come back really soon (after the show).
I’m not at all surprised that this show was postponed and they have already rescheduled the new date. So we’re all good. I just hope the damned air-conditioner works next time.
The last time I saw KGATLW, the two opening bands were kind of doom/psychedelic–perfect matches for KGATLW’s more recent sound. This year’s opener is a singer named Leah Senior.
Leah Senior did the narration on KGATLW’s Murder of the Universe album. But her music is a completely other thing. She sings gentle folk songs with delicate guitar playing and her beautiful soft voice.
I can;t imagine how well she would go over with a rowdy KGATLW crowd and I also wonder if that means that KGATLW would play their more mellow stuff? Nah.
I really enjoyed the songs I’d heard from Arlo Parks’ album. But apparently I was too late in hearing about her tour.
I Just Read About That...
