This thrilling collaboration will have fans enjoying King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s hits with an astounding symphonic accompaniment. Expect smashing titles to be rearranged but still stay true to their essence. There’s no word yet on what hits fans can expect, but surely it’s going to be a chockfull of hits. “So yeah, that last album Flight b741 actually had 20 songs. The other 10 are on this one but we added an orchestra,” announced the band in their social media.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has established themselves as one of the most influential psychedelic bands in the international circuit. The band dropped their debut album 12 Bar Bruise in 2012 and achieved immediate breakthrough in their home country. In 2017, their ninth album Flying Microtonal Banana broke into the Billboard 200 chart and entered the charts in several other countries. This career defining album catapulted the band’s music and made them one of the most influential psychedelic powerhouses to come out of Australia. The band often returns to the U.S. to deliver incredibly unique showdowns.

The Phantom Island Tour promises to serve their latest album Flight B741, which notoriously contained over 20 tracks. The band will also be cherry picking titles from their earlier releases. With their vast catalog, it remains a mystery on what fans can expect. But surely, audiences will be brimming with joy as the band serves their biggest hits, and monumental crowd stirring numbers.

It all goes down at the Pavilion At Ravinia, Chicago’s prime entertainment spot. The vast space can surely accommodate thousands of fans eager to witness this amazingly unique spectacle with the National Symphony Orchestra. Hurry and secure your tickets now!
