Welcome to the second annual KGLW.net Gizzies!

This year we’ll be releasing the results in a set of five batches over the next five days, all on this very page, so keep your eyes peeled!

2025 was a big year for King Gizzard! While things were quiet on the album front with only one major release, their touring schedule was wild with a second residency tour in Europe, a North American orchestral tour, the band’s inaugural Field of Vision festival, a return to Europe for a split rave/orchestral tour, and the first Australian tour in a few good years! So much happened that we can’t put it all here, but thankfully we have a way of figuring out the cream of the crop. Last year we did our inaugural Gizzies, an end-of-year retrospective trying to find the best of the best. This was a lot of fun to put together and it created a lot of discussion. With that response, a second installment was inevitable. Instead of doing a repeat of last year, however, we’ve made some big changes!
