Already confirmed as one of the headliners of 2022 Splendour, the originators of virtual performances (two decades before COVID made it fashionable) Gorillaz will also headline concerts in Sydney and Melbourne next July.
Recognised by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet's Most Successful Virtual Act, Gorillaz returned to the stage in August for two emotional performances at London's O2 Arena to thank NHS frontline workers.Singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs – the four-piece created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett – performed all three new tracks from their new EP 'Meanwhile', the band's homage to the iconic Notting Hill Carnival.
The 2000 Carnival signalled the start of something big for Gorillaz with their first ever outing, a performance of 'Clint Eastwood' at the Middle Row Records sound system in Meanwhile Gardens, W10.
'Meanwhile' is three tracks in celebration of that moment and the unique and inclusive spirit of Carnival.
Now the BRIT and Grammy Award winning band are bringing the Carnival to Melbourne and Sydney.
"AUSTRALIA! See you in July 2022!"
Tickets go on sale 9am (local time) 6 October.
