I recently noticed that King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s entire discography has vanished from Spotify. The band publicly criticized the streaming service as well. Can anyone clarify what led to this situation with Spotify? I was enjoying their albums when they suddenly disappeared. Were there problems related to royalties or something else? As a longtime fan, I’m interested in the details of this significant decision. Does anyone know if there’s a chance they’ll return to Spotify, or is this a permanent change? I would also like to find out if their music is still available on other platforms like Apple Music or YouTube Music.
weird, i’m still seeing their stuff on spotify right now? maybe try logging out and back in or switching regions with a vpn. sometimes the app just bugs out and shows empty results for no reason. king gizzard loves complaining about streaming but they never actually pulled their music - that would be career suicide lol
King Gizzard didn’t permanently remove their music from Spotify. You probably hit a temporary regional block or licensing glitch - happens all the time when distribution deals get renewed. Same thing happened to me last year with another band. Their whole catalog vanished for two weeks, then popped back up like nothing happened. It’s usually just backend negotiations between the label and streaming platforms over money splits or territory rights. King Gizzard’s been vocal about streaming economics, but they know it’s how fans discover them worldwide. Their stuff should still be on Bandcamp, Apple Music, and YouTube Music if Spotify’s acting up.
King Gizzard’s still on Spotify - just checked. You probably hit a temporary licensing glitch or regional issue. This stuff happens all the time with distribution deals and label drama, but it usually gets sorted within a few days or weeks. I’ve seen it with tons of artists where albums just vanish and pop back up randomly. If you’re still not seeing them, clear your cache or try a different device. The band’s pretty cool with streaming despite the usual complaints about pay. They make serious money from streaming, so pulling everything permanently would be weird business-wise.
