King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced a run of shows and they'll be coming to Manchester's Aviva Studios on Friday 31st October. But, this isn't the band as you know them as they'll be playing a special rave set.

Heralding in a new era, this set is a chance to see them evolve right before your eyes. They've already explored metal, psychedelia, prog rock and more in a career that refuses to sit still. Expect a transcendent experience as rockers turn to ravers.
