It’s official, Gorillaz are well and truly back and they’re coming to Leeds.
Coinciding with the exciting announcement of their new album The Mountain, Gorillaz will be coming to Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena next year.
It’s part of a huge UK and Ireland tour, where they’ll also be playing in Manchester, Liverpool and Nottingham as well as a one-off headline show at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Created by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz is singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, drummer Russel Hobbs and Japanese guitar prodigy Noodle.
The BRIT and Grammy-winning virtual band formed following a collision of mishaps, meetings and pure luck to blow up a pre-digital world.
Their new album, The Mountain, features a whole myriad of collaborations including Johnny Marr, IDLES’ Joe Talbot and Dennis Hopper.
The album will officially release on 20 March 2026, with Gorillaz performing at the first direct bank arena on Wednesday 25 March.
