Gorillaz Announce 22-Date North American Tour With EarthGang + Jungle

EarthGang has locked down a lucrative gig as the opening act for Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s band Gorillaz  as part of an expansive North American tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 22-date trek marks the Gorillaz’s first U.S. trip since 2018 when they brought Vince Staples and Danny Brown along for the ride.

The tour kicks off on September 11 in Vancouver, British Columbia before heading down the West Coast to Seattle and Portland. After quick stops at the Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas on September 17 and Salt Lake City, they hop back to the California for two dates in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The tour eventually wraps up on October 23 in Miami at the FTX Arena, although electronic group Jungle will replace EarthGang on both Florida dates.

Beginning with Del The Funky Homosapien on “Clint Eastwood,” the British-born talent and former lead singer of Blur has always interwoven Hip Hop into Gorillaz’s music. Speaking to HipHopDX in 2017, he raved about Staples’ music and the opportunity to collaborate with him on the song “Love Can Be” from Staples’ 2017 album  Big Fish Theory.

“He’s great,” Albarn said at the time. “He’s doing something different. He’s kind of anti-Hip Hop, isn’t he? I like that style. I like that not buying into more of the distractive aspects of the culture.  I was delighted to be on his album. It made me happy. We got along great. He’s a real character. I’m looking forward to hanging out with him for the next seven weeks.”

'Feel Good' concert of the year? How Gorillaz delivered the euphoria in Phoenix concert

Damon Albarn was enjoying the hell out of connecting with his fans in Phoenix Monday, grinning like a schoolboy as Gorillaz threw themselves into bringing a crowd that stretched from preteens in Gorillaz shirts to fans in their 40s and 50s together as one nation under a groove.

Albarn wandered through the crowd on several occasions, threatening to crowd surf three songs in on "Tranz" and waving his hands in the air (like he just didn't care) with a look of pure euphoria on "White Light."

He donned a captain's hat in the course of a crowd-pleasing version of "19-2000" while leading a smile-inducing singalong of "Get the cool/ Get the cool shoeshine" and took selfies (or possibly videos) with one fan's phone on "Cracker Island."

That enthusiasm was beyond contagious.

And it doesn't hurt that Albarn happens to be blessed with one of the most versatile, distinctive and emotionally captivating voices of his generation, which more than rose to the occasion Monday, especially on songs that played to his more soulful instincts.

In the interest of full disclosure, Albarn has my favorite voice of any living singer. And he put it to brilliant use at Footprint Center.

Arizona State Fair 2023: Why there will be no major concerts and what to expect

Gorillaz' creative mix of rock and hip-hop

Perhaps the most consistently creative mix of forward-thinking rock 'n' roll and hip-hop since the genres started interacting in the ‘80s, Gorillaz have provided Damon Albarn an amazingly elastic vehicle with which to push the boundaries of his artistic vision even further than he's managed at the helm of Blur.

It's a diverse commingling of genres that has blurred whatever artificial boundaries exist between them while giving Gorillaz a cultural currency in 2022 that's left the singer's fellow Britpop veterans of the '90s in the NME Where Are They Now? files.

Albarn and his bandmates are merely vessels performing the works of Gorillaz, the world's most successful virtual band, led by a keyboard-playing vocalist, 2-D, who sounds suspiciously like Albarn; with bassist Murdoc Niccals; a woman known only as Noodle on lead guitar, keyboards and vocals; and Russel Hobbs on drums.

Those Gorillaz drew rapturous applause as animated images from their videos flooded the screen behind the musicians. 

Albarn launched Gorillaz as a side gig in 1998 with Jamie Hewlett, his roommate at the time, whose claim to pre-Gorillaz fame was having co-created and illustrated “Tank Girl," releasing their seminal, self-titled full-length debut in 2001 with art and videos by Hewlett.

'Nervous, no talent and nowhere to go but up': How Dave Pratt became a Phoenix radio icon

The 'Feel Good' nature of collaboration

A large part of what makes Gorillaz work is Albarn’s fondness for collaboration, whether creating a virtual universe with Hewlett or inviting Stevie Nicks and Bad Bunny to join him in the studio for their eighth album, "Cracker Island," due to drop in February.

Fans who caught their concert one night earlier in Inglewood, California, were treated to walk-ons by Thundercat, Beck, Del the Funky Homosapien and Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara in addition to the guests we saw in Phoenix. And that was two nights after being joined by ScHoolboy Q and Tame Impala.

It's the sort of thing that maybe should've taken some small fraction of the shine off this performance.

But it hardly seemed to matter. That's how entertaining this performance was.

Atlanta hip-hop duo EarthGang, who opened the concert with an energetic show of force on such crowd-pleasing highlights as a speed-rapping "Top Down" and a soulful "Strong Friends," returned to the stage for a highly addictive shot of “Opium.”

Bootie Brown of the Pharcyde rocked the mic on several songs, revisiting his rap on the Gorillaz classic “Dirty Harry” as the set was building  returning to kick off the encore with “New Gold” and recent single “Stylo.”

De La Soul led the crowd in a near-euphoric singalong of “Feel Good Inc." after setting it up with Posdnous leading a motivational-speaker-style call-and-response that ended on a hilarious note that anyone paying attention had to know was coming.

"I need you to say I feel strong," he testified. "I feel confident. I feel extraordinary. Actually, I think I might ... FEEL GOOD."

It was ridiculous — the best kind of ridiculous. 

"Feel Good Inc." is a tough act to follow, even when it's not preceded by such glorious displays of showmanship.

But Gorillaz somehow managed to build on that momentum, bringing the encore to a spirited conclusion with “Clint Eastwood,” their iconic breakthrough single, playing it straight at first until the British reggae toaster Sweetie Irie emerged from the wings to lead them in a dancehall remix.

There were also video appearances by Thundercat (on "Cracker Island"), Little Dragon (on "Empire Ants"), Shaun Ryder (on "Dare"), Slowthai (on "Momentary Bliss") and Tame Impala's Kevin Parker (on "New Gold"), as well as animated likenesses of Simonon, Jones, Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed and De La Soul in the video that accompanied a wonderfully wistful performance of "On Melancholy Hill."

An image of soul great Bobby Womack, who joined them live in Phoenix last time they were here and died in 2014, appeared on screen during their first live performance of "Cloud of Unknowing" since 2017. 

Duran Duran's Roger Taylor on the band's 2022 resurgence: 'We've got our just deserts'

Relentless grooves, punkish intensity and soul

Much of their performance seemed to focus on grooving as relentlessly as possible with the five-piece Humanz Choir underscoring Albarn’s soulful vocals and occasionally stepping out to take the spotlight.

Michelle Ndegwa pulled in one of Monday's most enthusiastic crowd responses during the gospel-tinged climax of "Kids With Guns."

At least two highlights rocked with a practically punkish intensity — the electrifying conclusion of their opening song, "M1 A1" and the jaw-dropping back half of "Skinny Ape," a new song that worked its way up to the fireworks through several soulful verses recalling the bleary-eyed vulnerability of the Blur song "Tender."

And the changeups were just as effective.

Albarn sat at the piano, reinventing “O Green World” from the post-punk robofunk of the original recording to something surprisingly subdued (that also gave in to those post-punk leanings in the loud parts).

Interview:   The Kinks' Dave Davies reflects on following 'Lola' on their own terms

No Clash? No problem

The last time Albarn came to Phoenix, in 2010, Gorillaz' touring lineup included the Clash's Mick Jones on guitar and Paul Simonon (the guy smashing his bass on the cover of "London Calling," who also played in one of Albarn's other other bands, the Good, the Bad & the Queen) on bass. 

This lineup didn't have that sort of history behind it. But that hardly mattered either. 

They were great. And not just great but energetic, tight and also very entertaining.

In addition to Albarn, whose duties ranged from singing and rapping to playing keyboards, guitar and melodica, this version of Gorillaz featured longtime lead guitarist Jeff Wootton, bassist Oluwaseye Adelekan, drummer Femi Koleoso, percussionist Karl Vanden-Bossche and musical director Mike Smith on keys.

That's in addition to those previously mentioned backup singers: Angel Williams-Silvera, Jesse Appiah, Michelle Ndegwa, Petra Luke and Rebecca Freckleton. 

At one point, Albarn pulled out what he told us was a very special golden horn — the sort of horn he only blows on very special nights. 

Of course, this happened to have been one of those special nights. 

It was the sort of thing you know an artist does in every city. But that also hardly mattered, coming at the tail end of a joyous celebration of Gorillaz' catalog where you could see how special it was written in the goofy grin that seemed forever etched on Albarn's face.

Since their creation at the hands of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs have amassed an unparalleled arsenal of classic tunes including “Clint Eastwood,” “Tomorrow Comes Today,” “192000," “Feel Good Inc.,” “DARE,” “Dirty Harry,” “Kids With Guns,” “El Mañana,” “Stylo,” “Superfast Jellyfish,” “On Melancholy Hill,” “Saturnz Barz,” “Andromeda,” “Strobelite,” “Humility,” “Hollywood,” “Tranz,” “Momentary Bliss,” “Désolé,” “Aries,” “Strange Timez,” “The Pink Phantom,” and literally dozens more.

The band is recognized by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.

Gorillaz is a British pop band created in 1998 in London, England, as the creative brainchild of musician Damon Albarn and graphic artist Jamie Hewlett. The band consists entirely of fictional members, with Albarn and various guests creating the band’s music.

The fictional band members are Murdoc Niccals, 2-D, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs. They are represented in music videos and concerts in cartoons illustrated by Hewlett.

Gorillaz is a pop band with a distinctive sound. Its musical style combines synth-pop, alternative rock, hip-hop, electronic, trip-hop, and dark pop. Albarn credits various and diverse artists as significant influences. Some of the better-known influences include Massive Attack, Public Image Ltd, Tom Tom Club, Fun Boy Three, and Unkle. Influences for the animated band members include Glitch Techs, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Gorillaz is known for collaborating with many prominent artists such as Elton John, Georgia, Popcaan, and Mavis Staples. This one-of-a-kind group has influenced a bevy of artists since it burst onto the music scene, including 5 Seconds of Summer, AWOLNATION, Paramore, Grimes, and Kesha.

Gorillaz has grossed over 27 million records worldwide and won a Grammy as well as multiple MTV Video Music Awards. The group has also been nominated for 11 Brit Awards and won Best British Group at the 2018 Brit Awards. Gorillaz also holds the distinction of being the Most Successful Virtual Band in the Guinness World Records.

From 1998 to 2000, Albarn worked on the band’s self-titled first album, Gorillaz, which dropped in 2001. The first song release was “Tomorrow Comes Today,” and the music video for the song marked the world’s introduction to the virtual band members. Overall, the album was a smash, both commercially and critically.

The aforementioned second album, Demon Days, followed in 2005. The album marked a shift in the band’s sound into the darker approach to pop that made it famous. Demon Days was its most successful studio effort to date. It went double platinum in the U.S. and contained the ubiquitous and widely popular single “Feel Good Inc.”

In 2006, the band penned an “autobiographical” book titled Rise of the Ogre that expanded on the universe and backstories of the fictional band members.

Gorillaz’s third album, Plastic Beach, hit the market in 2010. The environmentally themed album featured a new synth-pop sound and a lineup of featured guest artists.

The Fall, the band’s fourth album, also released in 2010. The album was largely recorded while Alban was traveling during the band’s Escape to Plastic Beach Tour.

The band’s fifth studio effort, Humanz, dropped in April 2017 after a lengthy hiatus. The album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 and received positive reviews from fans and critics.

The sixth album, The Now Now, was released in 2018 and presented a more stripped-down version of the band’s signature sound, concentrating on Albarn’s original music instead of guest artists.

Gorillaz’ launched a new web series project titled Song Machine. The series of episodes featured music videos of the band with musical singles. After the series concluded, the band compiled each song to create its seventh studio album, Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez, in 2020.

Throughout 2022, Gorillaz was on tour in South America, Europe, Australia, and North America. Throughout the Gorillaz tour, the band released new music promoting its upcoming eighth album, Cracker Island, scheduled for release in 2023.

Live reviews

By far the best concert I’ve ever been to. The openers (Vince Staples and Danny Brown) were just as fantastic as Gorillaz themselves. (though they are apart of Gorillaz) But when Gorillaz got onstage, it absolutely blew my mind. Most of the instrumentation for their live shows is just that, LIVE. It’s an extremely impressive feat, and you’ll appreciate parts of their music you’ve never thought of. Best example of this is their back up singers, who, in my humble belief, went above and beyond. In the final few songs, you could have convinced me I was in the middle of a gospel song at church. Not to mention ALL their features, who have amazing singing talent in their own right.

Now, I must confess, I was extremely worried about this concert. I thought it would be Humanz, through and through, with some throwbacks - which had me worried as 1. Humanz is maybe their least liked album as of now 2. I also had some personal gripes with it. Wrong. 100%. They certainly didn’t, but it felt like they played their whole discography. I legitimately was RELIEVED when they played songs from Humanz. They even played some of the stuff from their ‘Super Deluxe’, spesifically Garage Palace feat. Little Sims - which no one in there had ever heard before - that was the biggest highlight for me. She just jumped onstage and said 1000 words in 10 seconds and danced around like it was nothing. Absolutely insane. They closed off, like u mentioned earlier, with Demon Days and the hits from Demon Days. Had De La Soul come onstage a SECOND time for the biggest hit. This was by far the best concert I’ve ever been to.

Report as inappropriate

I love the Gorillaz. They are pretty much the most exciting and original band out there right now. Even in their live concerts, they stick with their cartoon characters. Imagine a massive screen towering over the stage, with huge silhouettes of the characters (2-D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel), as the music starts and the lights come up, they suddenly come to life – and you can just about see the actual band underneath on stage.

The whole show has a cartoon animation version, where the "band" plays along with the music as if they're playing it. Meanwhile, Damon Albarn (from Blur) is the one who's really singing the songs. You'll almost certainly recognize their song "Clint Eastwood" – in fact, when I saw them at Glastonbury festival in 2010, Albarn hardly sang – the crowd knew all the words! "I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad, I got sunshine in a bag, I'm useless but not for long the future is comin' on..."

Also, I have no idea what that instrument he uses is- the flute with a keyboard on it- but it has such a unique sound that I just can't get over! Then all of a sudden SNOOP DOG is on stage, completely out of nowhere! He's rapping along with the song, we're going wild and screaming and singing along, everyone is excited. Albarn really pulled his weight next to Snoop, and more. And the images on the screen flashing by just completed the image, like watching the perfect music video with all the benefits of live music.

I almost missed their performance that year, and I am SO glad I didn't! I hope they keep touring, I'd go see their shows every week if I could. I can't wait until next time!

This was my first time seeing the Gorillaz ever (although I've been a fan since 2001 life always happened and couldn't see them before) but concert wise, it was the best show I've ever seen. I'm not too sure I'll ever go to Merriweather again. Because all horrible puns intended when the weather ain't merry, it isn't a place you wanna be. Parking and traffic are also a nightmare. Uber if you ever go to Merriweather. During the VIP set we were kicked out of the pavillan which I'm assuming because it was storming. And we were left to our own devices seeking shelter from the rain. (I brought an umbrella so I was some what dry. Seeing the Gorillaz was worth the lighting risk lmao). The show itself was amazing. The Gorillaz really know how to perform a live set. Dare I say better than other "more popular" bands I've seen. Damon has a tonne of energy as do the rest of the performers. There was such a connection between the fans even if there was a vast range of various demographics. We were all Humanz and that's the whole point of the Gorillaz. I LOVED it. Lost my voice screaming the lyrics back. I would definitely recommend that anyone who likes the Gorillaz see them when they can. It's worth every penny, getting rained on, sweltering in the sun, all of it.

In general the show was awesome! The atmosphere was incredible and I feel that the band had really put everything they've got into the show.

The only thing that really bothered me was the security. Since the arena was devided into three sections: the fan pit, the parter and the sitting area (where I was) and the ticket prices were different for each of them it was understandable that they didn't allow the fans to cross between them but the thing that was absolutely insane was the fact that they didn't let us (people in the sitting area) dance!? Like seriously it's a concert! They took it as far as beating up a man and escorted him out just for DANCING ON A FREAKING CONCERT!? LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?

Even with jerks for security like that I really enjoyed the show and in general I'm more than happy that I was a small part of it!

Gorillaz was the first time in austria but it felt like they know the austrian stage for years.

It was such a great concert, Damon Albarn gave all his energy for the crowd, the instrumentalists, the backround singers, everyone was just great.

The songs sound live in concert much better than on CD, vinyl or mp3 and it is hard to believe that Damons voice really sounds like this. I was standing in the wavebraker and the atmosphere was just perfect, espicially when songs like “Tomorrow comes today“ or “Kids with guns“ are played.

The show was also perfect, sometimes they showed the videos from youtube, sometimes completley new videos which i have not seen before.

To conclude, it was a really great concert and a mustsee for every gorillaz fan because how often can you see them live ;)

The bassist is such a super chill beyond cool guy. Straight up champs him and the guitarist. Damon was legendary, as expected. Personal shoutout to the lady that climbed up to the catwalk to work the lights over the stage, some thought she couldn't make it, but we believed.

The show was absolutely STELLAR!! Great crowd and even greater stage presence. The background vocalists really did an amazing job, especially memorable when one stepped out to perform on Kids With Guns. The crowd went wild, but that was to be expected. Everyone was roaring in excitement when the various guests came to do their parts in Dirty Harry, Hollywood, etc. Nothing compared to Feel Good Inc, though, I was scared the roof would cave in from the in unison laughter.

Smasung hall is a great spacious venue with the most amazing sound quality, my husband and I were very impressed and are looking forward to coming back.

The Gorillaz put on a great show, with the videos, the lights and the synced singing, it's really worth it.

We were a little disappointed about the type of songs, more british rock, less hip hop as the original Gorillaz were, but I guess that's the new album.

Damon Albarn however is a terrible front man, or he seemed to be at least in Zurich. Never interacted with the public, hardly talked or tried to get the us involved or dancing nor singing.

Opening act Little Simz was amazing!

An amazing concert and wish we could go again amazing atmosphere and was surprised to see some artists we weren't expecting like Liam Gallagher wish the set could of been longer as both me and my fiancé have been waiting for over 10 years to see Gorillaz and would love to hear more songs live next time Gorillaz are live we will definitely be going. We also managed to park up in the hotel which was a 15 minute walk from the stadium and drove away with no issues. Will definitely be attending another Gorillaz concert and with hopefully more money next time as there were things we wanted but couldn't afford lol

Gorillaz Humanz World Tour was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated shows by Chilean fans. It was an unparalleled performance, with a wonderful staging, in which each song described the story of the Gorillaz characters including songs like "19-2000" "Clint Eastwood" "Feel Good Inc" going through "Saturnz Barz", until a new single called "Hollywood". The way in which the group plays with the different rhythms and visuals creates a unique atmosphere, full of energy, which made vibrate from the youngest to the most adult of the fans of this band.

Without a doubt, a show that you can not miss.

This was the first concert that I have ever gone to and I'm not gonna lie, this was an amazing experience. The opening started off with 'The Internet' for about an hour, but then it went over to the band everyone was there for, 'Gorillaz. They played some of the songs everyone liked and all the fans joined in on helping them add more emotions to the song. Also, the live portion of the concert was what made it so good because it was rawer than the online songs which made it better because you get to hear what the artists put into each song for each song.

Moscow Metro: the Underground Palaces

• Description

This 1.5 hour walking tour will take you around Moscow’s most spectacular Soviet-era metro stations. Often considered to be the most beautiful metro system in the world, it is also one of the busiest. The first Metro line, the Red line, was opened in 1935. It had just 13 stations, and ran between Gorky Park and Sokolniky Park. The Moscow Metro now has more than 210 stations.

An expert guide will tell you how the Moscow Metro was built as a palace for the people, and show you how this new form of underground architecture was designed to express a bright, optimistic and bold new Soviet future. During the Great Patriotic War the stations served as air raid shelters, and the new, even grander, stations built after 1945 celebrated different aspects of the Soviet victory in the war.

Admire the extravagant décor of the stations - the chandeliers, gold and marble, the giant bronze sculptures in Revolution Square station, the stained glass in Novoslobodskaya station and the iconic mosaics and futuristic steel arches in Mayakovskaya station. You will also hear about the sinister Metro-2, a secret tunnel network that is said to run parallel to the main system. Moscow metro tours don’t come any better than this!

What you can expect:

• A 1.5-hour tour of Moscow metro stations with an expert local guide
• Learn about Stalin’s rule and see how his vision was reflected in the architecture he commissioned
• Visit four of the most intriguing Moscow stations: Revolution Square, Novoslobodskaya, Kievskaya and Mayakovskaya
• Look for the hidden entrance to Metro-2 - a secret government line that is said to link the Kremlin to KGB outposts

See iconic Soviet-era architecture alongside lavish mosaics, sculptures and stained glass.
