King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard announced today that they will release “Entropy,” a companion album to their maximalist techno opus “Alien Metal,” on Dec. 4 through their own (p)doom records label.

It is the Australian psych-rockers’ second techno album in under three months — an astonishing pace even for a band famous for prolific output.

Alongside the album, the band announced two North American tour legs for 2027: August dates on the West Coast and Pacific Northwest, and October shows across the South, Midwest and Northeast — including an Oct. 22 date at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena, the closest stop for Toledo fans.

Tickets for the 2027 dates go on sale Friday, Nov. 13.

King Gizzard played Detroit in 2024, and the band’s relentless release schedule has made each new announcement an event for fans who track the catalog like a sport. “Entropy” keeps that streak alive — and gives the Midwest a date to circle next fall.
