The Gorillaz live experience, hailed by Rolling Stone as “an overwhelming pop spectacle, with Damon Albarn’s steady presence to keep the audience focused,” draws on a quarter-century of genre-bending, paradigm-shifting, consistently innovative musical brilliance. Since their creation at the hands of Albarn and Hewlett, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs have amassed an unparalleled arsenal of classic tunes, including “Feel Good Inc.,” “Clint Eastwood,” “On Melancholy Hill,” “DARE,” “Dirty Harry,” “Stylo,” “Kids with Guns,” “Tomorrow Comes Today," “Rhinestone Eyes” and literally dozens more.

The BRIT and Grammy award-winning band’s latest album, “The Mountain,” was released Feb. 27 on the act’s own new independent KONG label, preceded by joyously received singles “The Happy Dictator (featuring Sparks),” “The Manifesto (featuring Trueno and Proof),” “The God of Lying (featuring IDLES),” “Damascus (featuring Omar Souleyman and Yasiin Bey)” and “Orange County (featuring Bizarrap, Kara Jackson & Anoushka Shankar)”/ “The Hardest Thing (featuring Tony Allen).”

“The Mountain” is the latest instalment in the towering Gorillaz discography that includes “Gorillaz” (2001), “Demon Days” (2005), “Plastic Beach” (2010), “The Fall” (2011), “Humanz” (2017), “The Now Now” (2018), “Song Machine – Season One: Strange Timez” (2020), and “Cracker Island” (2023).

A truly global phenomenon, Gorillaz have achieved success in entirely groundbreaking and unique ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, Montevideo to Manchester, and winning numerous awards – including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band is recognized by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.
