The Europe Residency Tour tour was announced on June 10, 2024, shortly after the conclusion of their European leg of their World Tour 2024, with tickets starting to be sold on June 13. [1] [2] [3] The announcement also came alongside the naming of their 26th album, Flight b741 . [4] [1] The tour was designed to "mirror" their U.S. Residency Tour, with the posters being of a similar design. [4]
The band's performances were live-streamed on YouTube and released as live albums on Bandcamp for free as part of their official bootlegger program. These include: Live in Lisbon '25, Live in Barcelona '25, Live in Lithuania '25, Live in Athens '25 , and Live in Bulgaria '25. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] In part to promote the live-streams, the band released a "Couch Tour" t-shirt featuring a design by Jason Galea of various members of the Gizzverse sitting on a couch. [10] [11]
During a rendition of "Self-Immolate" on the opening night in Lisbon, frontman Stu Mackenzie shaved his head with a pair of electric clippers. [12] During their second night in Lithuania the band performed a cover of AC/DC's Jailbreak as the venue was an old prison. [13] Additionally, on the third night, the band allowed a fan named Ignas to climb onto the stage with them and play Stu's guitar part during a performance of Dragon with Stu taking the time to crowd surf.

The tour was announced alongside the drop of the single Phantom Island on 29 October, 2024, to promote the then unnamed 27th Gizzard studio album. [15] [16] [17] By April 9 it was revealed that the album was also named Phantom Island. [18] [19] [20] The tour would consist of two types of shows, orchestral shows of Phantom Island with conductor Sarah Hicks alongside a different symphony orchestra in each city, and more classical Rock and Roll concerts capped off by a three day camping festival dubbed Field of Vision. [21] [22] [23] [24]
On the first show of the tour the band performed some songs after their performance of Phantom Island, including a rendition of Crumbling Castle with the outro, which had never been played live. [25] The Band played in New Haven, Connecticut for the first time ever at the Westville Music Bowl, the former Connecticut Tennis Center. [26] Shortly after the start of the tour the band would pull their library off of Spotify due to opposition to the investments of its CEO Daniel Ek into AI drone warfare. [27] This announcement was coupled with the release of Demos Vol. 7 + Vol. 8. [28]
During the first night of the Field of Vision the band would perform a cover of the Dead Kennedys Police Truck with Jello Biafra, introducing him as "one of our heroes". [29] [30] [31] Earlier that night during a rendition of Oddlife a fan, Matthew Gawiak, collapsed and despite the show stopping to allow his medical evacuation, he died en-route to a hospital. [32] Chaffee County Sheriff Andy Rohrich announced that his death is being investigated as a potential homicide until proven otherwise due to procedure, but nobody has been arrested. [33] Gawiak's family stated he complained of a headache before suddenly collapsing and died of "natural causes related to an undetected hereditary condition." [33] [34]

The tour was announced on April 1, 2025, centering around content from their synth album The Silver Cord and their upcoming orchestral album Phantom Island. [35] [36] [37] Tickets went on sale at 10am on 4th April London time. [35] This will be the band's second tour in Europe in 2025, as they had previously performed the Europe Residency Tour from May to June. [38]
Due to the dual nature of their content for this tour, shows are divided into "rave" and "orchestral" sets, with British composer Chad Kelly conducting and directing various orchestras during those sets. [39] [40] In an 27 May interview, band member Ambrose Kenny-Smith confirmed that the album after Phantom Island would be another synth album centered around eurorack although it was still unclear if it would be released before the tour.
