For the run of live dates, Gorillaz will perform their first three albums in full, from beginning to end.

Damon Albarn will be joined onstage by the full live band, with visuals by Jamie Hewlett, as albums ‘Gorillaz’, ‘Demon Days’ and ‘Plastic Beach’ return for one night only, alongside a not-to-be-missed Mystery Show.

House of Kong exhibition ticket holders will have the priority access to purchase tickets to the four Gorillaz shows at Copper Box Arena.

Friday 29 August: GORILLAZ

The creative collaboration of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett blew up a pre-digital world with the release of their eponymous debut album in 2001. The subsequent tour took in the band’s now legendary first-ever shows at Scala, London and La Cigale Paris, performances which tore up the rule book on the live music experience, putting band members Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D front and centre via Hewlett’s extraordinary visuals, with Albarn and a full live band in silhouette behind a screen.

This 29 August show is a recreation of these early Gorillaz shows which saw the band perform their seminal debut album in full. A rare, not-to-be-missed opportunity for fans to step back in time and immerse themselves in the earliest iteration of Gorillaz live.

Saturday 30 August: DEMON DAYS

The band’s acclaimed second album has only ever been performed in full around the album’s release when a limited run of ‘Demon Days Live’ shows took in five nights at Manchester Opera House in November 2005, followed by another five nights at Apollo Theater, Harlem in April 2006.

Until now.

This summer will see the groundbreaking Demon Days Live show recreated for the first time – to include Jamie Hewlett’s venue specific visuals created for the original shows.

Tuesday 02 September: PLASTIC BEACH

September 2 will see the band’s third studio album performed live in full for the first time since two shows at London’s Roundhouse kicked off the release of Plastic Beach in March 2010.

The album sessions had seen Murdoc, Russel, 2D and Noodle take up residence on the most deserted spot on the planet – Plastic Beach. A secret floating island deep in the South Pacific, made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity opening up a whole new world of creative possibility and innovation across the work of Jamie Hewlett.

Wednesday 03 September: MYSTERY SHOW

Gorillaz will close House of Kong with a fourth and final mystery show and fans can look forward to another memorable night with Damon Albarn and the Gorillaz live band joined onstage by special guests, all under the watchful eye of Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D.

Gorillaz was created by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, drummer Russel Hobbs and Japanese guitar prodigy Noodle.

Based at Kong Studios in West London, the band has worked with an impressive roster of collaborators, from Elton John to Little Simz, MF Doom to Jean-Michel Jarre, Grace Jones to Bad Bunny, Kali Uchis to Sidiki Diabaté, and many more.

In addition to touring the world, they have taken home numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band is also recognised by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.

Gorillaz has released eight studio albums to date: ‘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).
