King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announce US residency tour (Red Rocks, Hollywood Bowl, more)

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard recently wrapped up their 2022 North American tour, which included their biggest NYC show to date at Forest Hills Stadium. They’ve just announced they’ll be back in the US in June 2023 for a “residency tour” where they’ll play multiple shows at special venues around the country, including Tennessee’s subterranean The Caverns, Colorado’s Red Rocks, Chicago’s The Salt Shed, and Washington State’s Carnation Farms. The tour will end in Los Angeles with a three-hour marathon set at The Hollywood Bowl. All dates are listed below.

In other news, King Gizzard have a new concert film, Chunky Shrapnel, which was directed by John Angus Stewart and captures the band on their 2019 UK/EU tour. The film will screen in North American theaters on December 7 and the NYC screening is at Cinépolis Chelsea 9. A full list of theatre locations is here. Watch the trailer below.

King Gizzard released five studio albums and a remix album this year, the most recent of which was Changes (their third album of October).
