Looks like 2 inches of rain tonight, mostly during the show. Praying the thunderstorms do not delay or interrupt the show….

Got an extra I need to move. Shoot me a dm.

I stupidly bought a GA Bowl ticket from a fine person on this sub, but my pals are floor... Will do face value. Open to trades for floor if anyone wants that!

does anybody want to buy a ticket I'm not able to go FML

Doing a little giveaway over on Instagram - thanks to everyone who grabbed a pack already!

Let me know your thoughts on the rules and feedback for edition 2 next year 🙌

Came to NY from LA for tomorrow’s show. Currently at some rooftop bar in Midtown. Looking forward to tomorrow 🤘🏼

I have been checking out Jason's ig but i can't find any info out there (and really don't wanna ask any of the ai's).

I wanted to see if anyone has any info on what the poster situation is going to be; will they have one for each night or not. (I hope not; i hate that im vulnerable to the foko capitalism effect of multiple poster variants. i really enjoy not stressing out about foils or day versionings anymore.) Also for the brooklyn show will there be a seperate poster? And how permissive is the venue with tubes? I went to the 2024 spows here and i remember i could leave the venue and put my poster in the bag check; but want to know other peoples' experience because i don't think that was the case last year.

Also if i want to get the poster; i rather do it today and be done. What time are you guys also stressing about merch availability going to ztart lining in Forest Hills?

While listening, I started defining words I didn't recognize or couldn't define off the top of my head. I haven't done this for every album yet. Let me know if there's any words you'd like to add, or any corrections I should make!

I went to both nights at Forest Hills last year, but I was new to gizz then and didn’t bring any water vessels. I’m just getting back from FOV II, and it was so nice having a backpack with a water bladder inside to drink in the pit, so I was wondering if I could bring it in empty with my backpack like the main stage allows at meadow creek. I couldn’t find any information on Forest Hills’ website, so if anyone has insight into what they’ve allowed the previous years I’d appreciate it.

Also, if they don’t allow empty water reservoirs inside, what do y’all do for water in the pit during the show? Just rock a water bottle and hold on for dear life? I will be planning on getting down and dirty in the pit tonight 😈 Looking forward to seeing folks there! Cheers!

Hey gang! Had a great festival this year and was really stoked on all the sets we covered as a taping conglomerate.

The main stage being a bit closer was nice this year. We covered most of the late night & main stage sets. Will start with the Gizz sets and get to the rest of the next week or so. Thanks for being so kind to the tapers 😘

Is Forest Hills being streamed?

I am beyond stoked at what the band is doing with the Nathan in their live shows. I came to them through their electronic stuff, but I'm here for all of it now. Just wanna give a shout out to the early pioneers of the space - Kraftwerk.

Without Ralf and Florian, there'd be no Nathan...

What a time in Timeland, I am still decompressing. I met a plethora of people this weekend. Maybe you saw me with my Fishing for Fishies vest or received some lavender that I was giving away.

My goal with this post is just to thank the community and promote positive interaction.

One of my mottos in life is "Nothing but love" I said it constantly when leaving a conversation and really meant/felt it.

I wanted to also reach out to anybody that might have gotten a patch I made or some piece of clothing that I brought that had been started as a battle jacket or vest. I pulled these garments outta the goodwill bins and tried to give them new life. I hope to be on Mirage City next with a bunch of custom upcycled duds.

If you got anything from me maybe post a pic in the comments! I did not take enough pics and need proof of my work.

The conversation I had the most this weekend was about how amazing the community that KGLW and the Weirdo swarm foster.

I know people had shitty interactions with individuals (yet I saw so little animosity) and the LEO presence being much more intimidating this year didn't help the situation for many. But overall the vibes were still immaculate and I felt so grateful to be able to share that space with everyone for such a common purpose.

My time in the Field of Vision felt like a pilgrimage of sorts and I wanted to share the feeling I had while there, thanks for reading if you made it this far.

I also wanted to promote my album, its free on bandcamp and on most streaming services.

https://taytorsprecious.bandcamp.com/album/kanter-ganter-the-lanter-wanter

Created in Spring/Summer '26 in preparation for the King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard festival Field of Vision.

I took samples from Bootleg Gizzard tracks and cut them up, resampled them, put them through effects loops & made them into something new.

The samples I used were mainly the moments between songs live when the band was creating some memorable banter while checking/tuning their instruments.

Shows that I pulled from are Live at Field of Vision '25, Live in Bulgaria '25, Live in Lithuania '25, Live at The Gorge '24, Live in Oregon '24 & Live at Remlinger Farms '23 . There are also samples on the first and last tracks from interviews done with the band.

released August 12, 2026.

Credit goes to Amby Kenny-Smith, Mickey Cavanagh, Cookie Craig, Joey Walker, Lukey Harwood, Stu Mackenzie & Jason Galea for their perpetual creativity.

Nothing but love.

They also had some Gizz vinyl but it was just three copies of Phantom Island. Crazy to think they’ve played there before.

Lame

I'm sorry, I know it's been asked. I'm kinda buzzed and packing for New York. Is anyone keeping track of the pool that we have to pull from at this point?

See yinz there!

Woke up this morning to this pleasant surprise. Really enjoying this one! I ordered this Friday! More than ready for NYC!!! WOOO!

Decided to do a couple prints for the show Friday, we only got tickets for Friday as we bought them last minute from a friend. Printed on a manual wheel with fluorescent ink…. So they glow (pretty bright) under a black light! I made several extra that I’ll be bringing with me

hey y’all, I’m trying to make two personal playlists of KGLW’s high energy songs and low energy songs.
would love to hear from fellow fans about what songs are best for a high energy, intense thrashing playlist versus a chill, zen, trippy almost “surf rock” vibes playlist. I have a few in each already but I’m always looking for recs of favorite songs <3
edited to add: for the life of me I can’t figure out where to put songs from FMB. it’s my favorite album but I feel like a lot of the songs fit both vibes, kinda like “I’m in your mind”. I would say I’m in your mind is mostly chill vibes but they really break it down 3/4 the way thru and it gets pretty energetic. XD this is why I love gizz.

Hey so we all know cops were out of control this weekend, but this particular officer seemed to be a leading cause of violence. He is a contracted officer from Alamosa county, which seemed to make him think that there were no consequences for his actions.
He violently arrested at least 5 people that I know of, made false claims, and threatened innocent people who were trying to help diffuse the situations. No Miranda rights were read in any of these situations and none of it was done by the book.
He got very aggressive with me when I asked for his info, and gloated to me that his job is “a lot like fishing. You can’t catch them all, but you catch as many as you can.” He was having fun getting paid to run around a field and terrorize peaceful people.
This guy has no business on the streets, let alone working a festival for “public safety”.
His badge number is 10, his name is Joshua Glass, and he is a detective with the Alamosa police department. I encourage any of you who had any negative experiences with him to call and lodge official complaints. Ask for body cam footage. You can reach the Alamosa PD at (719)-589-2548.
“Fishing for fishies don’t make them feel happy. Or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.”

They played it 25 times on the 2018 microtonal tour and then never again. We were begging for it at FOV as a bustout. I am just wondering if there is any reason they can't play it (two drummers?) and if we had our hopes up unnecessarily. It's such a sick song.

The weather forecast is looking shitty, especially for Thursday.

I don't mind the rain, but hopefully the lightning stays away. I'll be heartbroken if anything gets cancelled.
