The Jesus Lizard Have Cancelled Their 2025 Australian Tour
The Jesus Lizard have shared the unfortunate news that their Australian tour, slated for October 2025, will no longer be going ahead. The American noise-rock band shared the news to their social media accounts today (August 5th), noting that their returns to both New Zealand and Japan would also be affected by cancellations. In a statement, the band revealed that 'a serious health incident affecting one of the band members' was the reason for their tour cancellation. 'Upon the advice of medical professionals, it is considered necessary as a precautionary measure, the band wrote. 'The band would like to convey their apologies to disappointed fans and emphasize that the affected member's prognosis is excellent. Your understanding and support are very much appreciated as always. As we cannot currently project replacement dates, refunds will be available at point of purchase.' The Jesus Lizard – 'Nub' This marks the second Australian tour cancellation for the band this century. The band were supposed to tour Australia in 2013 as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties spinoff Release The Bats, but cancelled their visit and listed only 'unforeseen circumstances' as the reason. The band were last seen in Australia circa 1998, where they performed at the Solar Stomp Festival in Mandurah alongside the likes of L7, Powderfinger, Primus and The Tea Party. They also played a series of shows in support of Primus, as well as some one-off headlining shows on the east coast. The band's 2025 tour was set to be supported by The Nation Blue, who recently reunited to support The Drones at their one-off Melbourne shows. 'This is a brutal blow,' the band wrote on their social media accounts. 'Wishing them a speedy recovery. We hope to do this at some stage in the future but for now the tour is off. Lots of love to the band and their loved ones.'

The Jesus Lizard Cancel 2025 Tour Dates Citing ‘Serious Health Incident'
Revered Austin noise-rock band The Jesus Lizard have announced the cancellation of their 2025 tour plans, with the group citing a 'serious health incident' affecting an unspecified bandmember as the cause. News of the band's axed tour was announced on social media on Monday (Aug. 4), with The Jesus Lizard revealing their scheduled October performances in New Zealand, Australia and Japan have been affected, in addition to their November dates in the U.S..

'The band would like to convey their apologies to disappointed fans and emphasize that the affected member's prognosis is excellent. Your understanding and support are very much appreciated as always.' The statement closed by noting that all ticketholders will be provided refunds for their purchases due to an inability to 'currently project replacement dates.' The band currently have no other planned shows apart from the affected dates. The forthcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand was to be the band's first appearances in these countries since 1998, while the Japan tour would have been their first since 1996. The Jesus Lizard first formed in 1987, issuing a handful of singles and EPs on Chicago indie Touch and Go ahead of four studio records for the label, including 1991's Goat and 1992's Liar. Signing to Capitol in 1995, a further two albums followed before the band's split in 1999. Following a two-year reunion in 2008, the band have again been active since 2017, issuing their first new album in 26 years – Rack – in 2024. Though largely avoiding any chart success (save for 1996's Shot peaking at No. 28 on the Heatseekers Albums chart), the group's legacy as one of the most prominent and revered bands in the U.S. underground music scene is well-documented, with acts such as Nirvana labeling them a noted influence. Following sporadic touring upon their most recent reformation, The Jesus Lizard increased their live appearances last year, with the group having already completed tours of the U.S., U.K. and Europe in 2025.
