King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announced For Rhythm & Alps 2022

Returning to Wānaka's Cardrona Valley in late December, summer festival Rhythm & Alps have announced a bonzer addition for their already star-studded lineup. Last here in early 2020, mega-prolific psych-blasting Melburnians King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard haven't taken their pedal off the metal, releasing five (!) studio albums since their last visit to Aotearoa, including latest long player (their twentieth) Omnium Gatherum. They're joining a massive bill of international and local party starters including Sydney electronic groovers Cosmos Midnight, Zambian-born / Australia-based hip hop star Sampa The Great, soul-pop crooner Dope Lemon and a small army of DJs, happening over three days and five stages. Check out the updated lineup details for the South Island extravaganza below... 

UPDATE: King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard have also announced North Island dates with Shapeshifter and Fat Freddy's Drop for Summer Haze, happening on 29th December at Tauranga's Wharepai Domain and 4th January at Matakana Country Park....
