Taking to King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard‘s official Instagram account, Joey Walker has announced that the band’s annual Australian festival Gizzfest will never happen again.
“Gizzfest is never happening again because it was always a peice of sh*t,” Walker states. “I was embrassed to be apart of it.”
Going by Walker’s joking tone of voice and given the band confirmed the event would be returning in 2020 in a recent interview with KEXP, this may be a tease on the band’s behalf.
That said it might not be too much of a surprise if the group was considering discontinuing the annual event given the present demands of their heavy touring schedule.
In fact King Gizzard were recently found by a recent Institue of Contemporary Music Performance study to one of the world’s hardest touring acts.
The band has not hosted a Gizzfest event since 2018.
