GRiZ is Back to Making Music After Indefinite Hiatus

On March 11th, GRiZ shook the hearts of EDM lovers when he posted a video on social media titled “WE ARE SO BACK!” This is a pivotal moment because he announced in June 2023 that he would be taking time off from touring and his music career to nurture his relationship with himself, his family, and his friends. At the beginning of October, GRiZ played his last show and then posted on October 7th, 2023, “Time to sign off for a while.” That was the last time anyone has seen or heard from the space captain himself.

In this video, GRiZ parks a tractor in a quiet field as he begins to stack bales of hay. Is this possibly an inkling of a new hobby he picked up during his time away? Could he have been training his mind, body, and spirit on a farm while in the stillness of nature? Who knows. But as he’s stacking hay, music begins to build to the moment where he catches his breath. Reaching for a pair of vintage over-ear headphones around his neck. The moment they cover his ears the music, what we expect is one of his new songs, begins to bump.

Suddenly, this working man feels the rhythm and starts the tractor, throws it in drive, and punches the gas to every beat of the build-up. Ripping the tractor through the field while head-banging. The track emits funky, space bass music that we all knew and loved GRiZ for. It’s his trademark sound, and hearing this has returned hope to our hearts. The video ends with him saying, “Back to work,” and the dates 10/10/25-10/12/25.

There has been zero explanation about what the dates are for. Could it be his first performance back? Could it be a festival he is hosting for three days? Everyone is eager to find out. You can click the link in his bio to sign up for text updates on what is soon to come. But with a little research, I have found there is a Seven Stars General Store Grand Opening event happening on those dates. The website looks normal, but the more you look, the more GRiZ vibes you find. GRIZ’s return event will be on October 10. You can watch the fun video below.
