Gorillaz

Demon Days, performed in full

The virtual band that can’t be constrained by boundaries

Gorillaz was created by Blur frontman Damon Albarn and comic book artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998 as a way of breaking free from the lack of substance they saw in the music industry. Their animated band was designed to deliver fresh and different sounds, whilst also telling dark and twisted stories through music videos, online games, fictional radio programmes, and short stories. Ultimately, Gorillaz has encompassed a whole fictional universe and been named by Guinness World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act. The band consists of four animated members: singer Stuart “2D” Pot, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs.

Along with groundbreaking music, stunning comic book visuals, 3D animation and live action footage, Gorillaz have become a global sensation over the years, touring the world and playing shows from San Diego to Damascus, Syria. Although Albarn is the main musical contributor, Remi Kabaka Jr became the producer and third permanent member of Gorillaz in 2016, after providing the voice of Hobbs for several years.

In 2025, Gorillaz announced House of Kong, an exhibition and four shows celebrating their 25th anniversary as a band. The exhibition and live shows will take place at the Copper Box Arena, London, with each live performance showcasing a different album.
