The Jesus Lizard have scrapped their planned fall 2025 tour due to a “serious health issue” impacting one of the members. The cancellation comes as the noise rock vets were riding momentum from their first album in 25 years, Rack, which dropped in late 2024.

The band issues the following statement:

The Jesus Lizard regret to announce the cancellation of their scheduled Oct 2025 dates in New Zealand, Australia and Japan, as well as their Nov dates in the US. Upon the advice of medical professionals following a serious health incident affecting one of the band members, it is considered necessary as a precautionary measure.

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.
