The Jesus Lizard have cancelled the remaining dates on their 2025 tour in help of their new album, Rack. In an announcement shared to their social media, the post-hardcore band cited “a critical well being incident” that has affected an unnamed band member. Their tour initially included performances in america, Japan, and Australia, all of which have now been scrapped. No substitute dates are deliberate right now.
“Upon the recommendation of medical professionals following a critical well being incident affecting one of many band members, it’s thought-about needed as a precautionary measure,” the Jesus Lizard’s assertion reads. “The band wish to convey their apologies to disenchanted followers and emphasize that the affected member’s prognosis is superb. Your understanding and help are very a lot appreciated as at all times.”
Rack was the Jesus Lizard’s first new album in 26 years, following 1998’s Blue. Their seventh studio LP took place after the band determined “it will be enjoyable” to jot down a brand new file. They recorded Rack with producer Paul Allen at Nashville’s Audio Eagle Studio. After breaking apart in 2000, the Jesus Lizard reunited in 2008 to play a quick tour, together with a set at Pitchfork Music Festival the next yr. They as soon as once more reformed in 2017 for an additional tour, and have performed a handful of exhibits since then sporadically.
