King Gizzard & Lizard Wizard Kicks Off Rave Tour with Live Debuts
October 30, 2025
Hometown heroes King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard turned Melbourne’s Federation Square into a two-hour public plaza groove on Friday (10/24), for the first stop of their 2025 World Tour: Rave Shows.
Yes, the prolific band known for its psychedelia, epic jams, and insistence in being unpredictable, are now touring the world with a synth-heavy rave vibe just months after wrapping up their symphony tour.
The beloved Aussie sextet is comprised of Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, and Stu Mackenzie, who all play a variety of instruments and keyboards, along with Michael Cavanagh (drums), and Lucas Harwood (bass guitar).
On Friday they created a relentless rhythm and sound that bounced between art pop, dance-pop, dream pop, neo-psychedelia, and modern synth-pop that kept the crowd moving for two hours while the band reworked favorites with a slew of live debuts.
