King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announce New Techno Album Entropy and 2027 North American Tour

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will release Entropy on December 4 through their own (p)doom records label, arriving less than three months after their previous techno record.

Two Electronic Records

The eight-track Entropy shares its roots with the band’s twenty-eighth album, Alien Metal, as both emerged from extended recording sessions using a Eurorack modular synthesizer rig nicknamed Nathan.

The band initially intended to finish and release both records together, but the creative process eventually took them in different directions. “Of all the recordings we did with the Eurorack, there were always these two jams that felt really good, really different,” frontman Stu Mackenzie explained.

As the sessions progressed, the group decided to pivot. “Entropy began to feel like its own project, something that could stand on its own and needed a little longer to simmer,” Mackenzie noted. “We were like, let’s commit.”

The two companion records differ sharply in musical architecture. While Alien Metal occupies the key of F-sharp at 143 beats per minute with a grungy dirtiness, Entropy tracks run at 160 beats per minute in the key of A, featuring a prettier, more harmonic, and more cosmic energy.

The lead single “Rogue Wave” utilizes vocal effects and incorporates house-inspired piano chords and pop hooks. The song serves as a nod to the sound of the band’s 2021 electronic project, Butterfly 3000, and has been described as a “posi-vibes” take on a tsunami. The full tracklist includes “Aeon,” “Heaven & Hell,” “Hard Sync,” “Rogue Wave,” “Angel,” “To Mercury…,” “Face of the Earth,” and “Entropy.”

King Gizzard Schedules North American Tour Legs for 2027

Alongside the upcoming album, King Gizzard scheduled two North American tour legs for 2027. The first leg opens with August shows including two nights at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery on August 5 and 6, a stop at the Rady Shell in San Diego on August 7, and the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, while the second leg runs across the South, Midwest, and Northeast through October, beginning in Dallas on October 6 and concluding at Chicago’s 10,000-capacity Wintrust Arena on October 22.

The tour also features a return visit to the Caverns in rural Tennessee. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 13.

The band will not bring back their Field of Vision festival to Meadow Creek in Buena Vista, Colorado, in 2027. Representatives for the group and Chaffee County authorities were unable to reach an agreement on permit conditions for a third iteration of the event.

In place of the festival, the band added three shows in Colorado and one in Nevada for mid-August, near the timeframe previously occupied by the festival, which saw fan reports of increased police presence during its 2026 edition.
