Noise rockers The Jesus Lizard‘s 2025 touring plans for the fall have been scuttled amid a ‘serious health issue’ affecting one of the band. It’s certainly a bit of a sour note for the group, who were riding high off of their first album in 25 years, “Rack“, which saw a release in late 2024. A statement issued this afternoon by the band’s camp reads:
“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.”
