Gorillaz to play three albums in full at London shows

Damon Albarn and bandmates will perform the virtual group’s first three albums, Gorillaz, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach in full at the Copper Box at London’s Olympic Park.

There will then be a fourth mystery show, possibly hits from the group’s later albums, at the venue which will also host their House of Kong exhibition.

The shows will effectively bring the curtain down on the exhibition, which will be at the Copper Box from August 8 to September 3.

Gorillaz is a collaboration between Blur frontman Albarn, who writes and performs the music alongside guests, and comic artist Jamie Hewlett, who draws the virtual members 2-D, Noodle, Murdoc Niccals, and Russel Hobbs.

The fourth show could also potentially feature new music.

“I’m finishing a new Gorillaz album,” Albarn told Les Rockupitles. “One opera and one new Gorillaz album seems like enough for 2025! Unless someone accuses me of taking my foot off the gas!”

Here are all of the dates and details.

Gorillaz 25th anniversary show dates

The shows come 25 years after the release of Tomorrow Comes Today, the EP that preceded the release of their debut album.

The four shows are:

• Gorillaz: August 29,
• Demon Days: August 30,
• Plastic Beach: September 2,
• Mystery Show: September 3

All shows will be at London’s Copper Box arena where the House of Kong exhibition will be held from August 8 to September 3.

How to get tickets

Tickets for all four London shows are on sale 10am BST on Friday, May 30.

Exhibition ticket holders will receive priority access to the live shows. House of Kong tickets are now on sale for £25.
