A screenshot making the rounds on r/outsidelands and Instagram suggests **King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard** may be locking in six of seven U.S. shows for August 2026 — and festival fans are asking if Outside Lands could be the mystery stop.
The image shows a Field of Vision / Meadow Creek poster for August 14–16, 2026 (Buena Vista, Colorado) that lists “King Gizzard (every day),” followed by an Instagram-style caption that reads the band has “6/7 of the USA shows for 2026” with specific dates: Aug. 14–16 at Field of Vision and Aug. 20–22 at Forest Hills. That combination would leave room for one more U.S. appearance in the same late-August window — hence the Outside Lands chatter.
On the r/outsidelands thread responses range from cautious to excited. Some users point out the band’s history of flexible touring — often favoring solo shows or semi-headliner slots rather than festival runs — and call back to similar openings and rumors from previous years. Others floated potential locations for the seventh show (Salt Lake City and Stern Grove were both mentioned), while a few fans are hoping for a multi-set situation similar to Vampire Weekend’s festival strategy.
Whether Outside Lands ends up being that extra date remains to be seen, but the poster and social post have set the rumor mill spinning. Take this as the kind of on-the-ground scouting that happens every summer: fans spotting posters and cross-referencing tour windows. We’ll keep an eye on official announcements and ticket on-sale info — late-August is closing in, and festival routing often falls into place fast.
Stay tuned — if a seventh U.S. stop gets dropped into the calendar, it’d be a high-priority pickup for anyone chasing King Gizzard’s notoriously varied sets.
