King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard — Live Concert at Forest Hills Stadium (Orchestra Night with Orchestra of St. Luke's), Queens (New York City), New York, USA, 2025

In August 2025, Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard—cult masters of endless tours and experiments with albums like Flight b741 (2024)—staged an orchestral triumph at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, a historic 14,000-seat venue, as part of "Orchestra Night" with the Orchestra of St. Luke's conducted by Sarah Hicks. Pro-shot by Heaps Keen Films (Jackson Devereux and Allen Dobbins, with Fatou Seck and Annette Hampton), sound by Sam Joseph and Joe Santarpia, and lights/visuals by Terrence Ankeny and Jason Galea, it featured the band—Amby Kenny-Smith, Mickey Cavanagh, Cookie Craig, Joey Walker, Lukey Harwood, and Stu Mackenzie—at full force: orchestral arrangements amplified their psychedelic whirlwind, with riffs and solos building into symphonic storms. From "Phantom Island" through "Deadstick", "Panpsych", "Aerodynamic" (Daft Punk cover), "Sea of Doubt", and "The River" to closing "Iron Lung"—an epic soundtrack to their evolution, evoking a cosmic flight under New York skies for fans.
