King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard: Bandcamp Pioneers and Tour Trailblazers
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have made a bold move by leaving Spotify and joining Bandcamp, offering their entire music catalog on a name-your-price basis. Fans can now access their music on the Bandcamp app, where paying supporters can enjoy unlimited streaming. This decision has proven successful, as the band's albums dominate the Top 25 best-selling albums on Bandcamp.
Following their departure from Spotify, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are part of a growing trend of artists distancing themselves from the platform due to CEO Daniel Ek's involvement in AI military software. Other artists like Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor have also taken their music off Spotify for similar reasons.
The band is gearing up for a tour starting in October, featuring orchestral shows in support of their latest album, Phantom Island, along with a series of "rave sets." The tour kicks off on Halloween night in Manchester, UK, and includes stops in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and more before concluding in Melbourne in December.
