Giöbia Announce Sept. Tour Following Jam in the Psych Castle
Italian psych boundarypushers Giöbia will begin their next round of European touring on Sept. 5 at the Obelisk-co-presented Jam in the Psych Castle in Pusztazámor, Hungary, where they’ll perform along the likes of Yuri Gagarin and Magyarország’s own Psychedelic Source Records collective, among slews of others. More info on that is here. Sadly, I won’t be there, but I’m stoked for it regardless. Giöbia are out in support of their 2025 album, X-ÆON (review here), which came out in continued collaboration with Heavy Psych Sounds, and which found them blending old and new impulses in space and cosmic rock, honing an identity of their own drawing from decades of influence. A better record and a better band than I’ve seen them get credit for being. So it goes.
The dates came down the PR wire:
We are stoked to announce that our Italian space rock wizards GIÖBIA will tour Europe in September 2026.
The mystical day 60s rock met neopsychedelic rock mixing up to the point of losing consciousness of their own essence, that’s when Giöbia’s acid psychedelic rock was born, in an overwhelming and incessant soundtrack with an unmistakable Italian taste. In a vortex that leaves no way out, the unique melodies of this quartet take the listener into a world where the boundaries of reality are no longer defined and anything can ever happen.
After their debut in 2009 with ‘Hard Stories’, Giöbia firmly established themselves in 2013 with ‘Introducing Night Sounds’, which suddenly brought them to the most important stages of Europe, until in 2016 the milestone ‘The Magnifier’ assigned them a place among the most influential bands of the scene. Giöbia went on astonishing their audience by forging ‘Plasmatic Idol’, which saw the light in 2020 via Heavy Psych Sounds and reconfirmed them as the forefathers of a genre that fascinates and amazes anyone who dare to leave themselves behind without fear of never returning. In 2021 Giöbia released their split album with The Cosmic Dead “The Intergalactic Connection – Exploring The Sideral Remote Hyperspace”, a must-have for every space traveler.
Unable to stop in front of any challenge, the quartet released ‘Acid Disorder’ in 2023 on Heavy Psych Sounds, which expertly refines the band’s psychedelic rock attitude alongside a wide spectrum of intriguing sounds and textures.
Their latest album X-ÆON was released in October 2025 via Heavy Psych Sounds !!
