King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's European Residency Tour was a concert tour of Europe that took place during the summer of 2025. It began on 18 May 2025 with the band's performance at Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon, Portugal, and concluded on 10 June 2025 at the Ancient Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
History
The tour was announced on June 10, 2024, shortly after the conclusion of their European leg of their World Tour 2024, with tickets starting to be sold on June 13.[1][2][3] The announcement also came alongside the naming of their 26th album, Flight b741.[4][1] The tour was designed to "mirror" their U.S. Residency Tour, with the posters being of a similar design.[4]
The band's performances were live-streamed on YouTube and released as live albums on Bandcamp for free as part of their official bootlegger program. These include: Live in Lisbon '25, Live in Barcelona '25, Live in Lithuania '25, Live in Athens '25 , and Live in Bulgaria '25.[5][6][7][8][9] In part to promote the live-streams, the band released a "Couch Tour" t-shirt featuring a design by Jason Galea of various members of the Gizzverse sitting on a couch.[10][11]
Notable events
During a rendition of "Self-Immolate" on the opening night in Lisbon, frontman Stu Mackenzie shaved his head with a pair of electric clippers.[12] During their second night in Lithuania the band performed a cover of AC/DC's Jailbreak as the venue was an old prison.[13] Additionally, on the third night, the band allowed a fan named Ignas to climb onto the stage with them and play Stu's guitar part during a performance of Dragon with Stu taking the time to crowd surf.[14]
