After nearly two years of silence, GRiZ is officially back. The electronic music icon, known for his saxophone-infused bass and high-energy performances, has reemerged from his creative break with a cryptic yet thrilling announcement—one that has fans speculating about a brand-new festival.
GRiZ’s Grand Return: A Tractor, a Message, and a Mystery
GRiZ, who stepped away from music in June 2023 to focus on personal growth, made his unexpected return via a playful yet intriguing video. The clip showcases the artist driving a tractor through vast open farmland before dramatically announcing, “I’m back to work.”
However, the biggest revelation comes at the end of the video, where an aerial shot unveils hay bales arranged to display the dates “10/10/25 – 10/12/25.” While no official details have been released, fans are already buzzing with speculation that these dates hint at a new GRiZ-curated festival set for October 2025.
Seven Stars General Store: A Hidden Easter Egg?
Further fueling speculation is the sudden appearance of a mysterious website for Seven Stars General Store, a fictitious venue that appears to hold deeper meaning. The site features a variety of merchandise that fans believe may be teasing artists for an upcoming lineup. Among the notable items:
- A lion figurine (potential nod to Seven Lions)
- A bread basket (possibly referencing Daily Bread)
- A tree-scented car freshener (hinting at Of The Trees)
- A jar of queso dip described as “bursting with an astronomical amount of flavor” (seemingly a reference to Subtronics’ track “Quantum Queso”)
While neither GRiZ nor his team have confirmed the existence of a festival, the website’s whimsical backstory only adds to the intrigue. “Folks say this place has been here longer than anyone can remember,” reads the Seven Stars General Store site. “Some whisper it appeared under a rare alignment of stars, while others just say it’s been passed down through generations.”
New Music on the Horizon?
The video also provides a sneak peek at what could be new music from GRiZ. A powerful dubstep drop is heard, featuring the vocal sample “I’m back.” Given his signature style blending funk, bass, and live instrumentation, this preview has already reignited excitement within his devoted fanbase.
GRiZ initially announced his hiatus to travel and spend time with loved ones, stating, “Life is really good, and often I make myself too busy to see just where I am and how far the project has come.” Now, it seems he’s returning with renewed energy and possibly an ambitious new project in the works.
For now, fans eagerly await further details—but one thing is certain: GRiZ is back, and the excitement is just beginning.
