From Clint Eastwood to The Mountain, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's virtual band Gorillaz; a guide to the live show, tickets and travel.
Prepared by the FlyVentis editorial team and regularly reviewed for travel and event accuracy.
Who are Gorillaz?
Gorillaz is the virtual band created in London in 1998 by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett. The band's 'members' are the animated characters 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle and Russel Hobbs, while the music is made by Albarn and a large cast of guest artists that changes with every album. Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., DARE and On Melancholy Hill are well-known tracks blending hip-hop, electronic music and alternative rock.
In the live show Albarn and a large band play on stage while the animated characters and visual storytelling unfold on giant screens, and some of the albums' guest artists may join them. Confirm current tour dates and venues in the live FlyVentis records below.

Pick a spot that sees the screens
Half of a Gorillaz concert is the musicians on stage; the other half is the animation and visual storytelling on the screens. Right in front of the stage it can be hard to see the top of the screens. Mid-distance in the arena or the lower tier of the opposite stand is more balanced for keeping musicians and screens in the same frame.
Compare category differences in the arena ticket categories guide.
Tour pattern and city choice
Gorillaz tours are spread across arenas and major summer festivals in North America, Europe and Latin America. London and other UK shows see high demand because it is the band's home. If there are several European stops, use the going abroad for a concert guide to compare the total cost.

What to expect from the setlist
Concerts usually open with songs from the latest album era before moving to classics such as Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., DARE, On Melancholy Hill and Stylo. The set can change from night to night depending on which guests take part.
What to know before you go
- For the screens, choose a spot a little further from the stage but on the centre line.
- Guest appearances change from night to night and are not guaranteed.
- Festival set times can change in the final days.
- Consider hearing protection for the heavy bass.
How to plan travel around the concert
Secure the ticket before booking flights or accommodation. Aim to arrive at least a day before the show and stay 20–30 minutes from the venue on a direct public transport line; a same-day flight that runs late can mean missing the concert.
If the tour has several stops, compare the combined cost of ticket, flights and two nights' stay across cities rather than the ticket price alone.
Keep planning
