King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

Doesn't look like it

I'm ridiculously excited for Saturday! Amazing that they have almost sold it out.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Tonight was very good. A nice mix of the Heavy, the funkier stuff & the "driftier" tunes.

A few of them having a go on lead vox to varying degrees of success. Wasnt the constant thrash fest I expected.

7th Time I have seen them, always put on a good show. Wrong venue though. Probably half full. Should have been at the academy.

THERE WAS A PLANET B

As @FuzzyDunlop says, great setlist. Hoped for more thrash when I bought the ticket but I'm knackered so this was about right.

Awful venue, made a little better by them not selling it out to be honest. Hate that venue. Sounded great though.

[Mash011]

Gonna miss them on this tour cos I'm rubbish. We'll have a park headline slot or the like, please.

Alexandra Palace SOLD OUT. Huge.

[JSmurphy]

Incredible gig. Float Along - Fill Your Lungs was the most perfect closer. The crowd during Mars For The Rich was just unbelievable. 

Not just those two, but The Great Chain of Being, This Thing, Mr. Beat, Evil Death Roll, Planet B, Rattlesnake in the same setlist... so bloody good.

Exactly what I said to my mate this morning!

Sleep Drifter as the sun heads down at Red Rocks. Come on!

I hope they do some forest shows in the UK, if outdoor is the mood for next year.

No I mean three-hour headline shows.

[priest17]

Three hour headline shows at Glastonbury. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It all adds up, they're a huge band (there's 7 of them) and they're clearly negotiating the Friday set and whether they can show Footy Footy on the pyramid screens.

[priest17]

If you're into ya relaxed jazzy Giz, give these guys ago. Debut came out today. Tres bien.

So some hope, right?

[kingcrawler]

Am I right in thinking this is the first European festival they’ve been announced for? Hopefully they stick around for a few weeks. Could see them getting quite a high up slot on one of the APE days the week before too.

I think you are right and I really see them in the line up, which is great. 

By the way, I hope Bad Bunny is as far as possible from Glastonbury,  my god.

Sorry to put a damper on your hope but it seems like they are heading back to the US after Primavera weekend. Not sure if they'd come back over so quickly again. Could be a shout for a spot on the undercard for one of the APE days though.

They’re also playing SuperBock SuperRock in July so they’re definitely coming back to Europe at some point, hopefully in time for Glastonbury. I agree though, I’m expecting them to be pretty high up on one of the APE days though.

Huh, they didnt have that date on their website. Guess King Giz may be back on then!
