Gorillaz

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.

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.
