About Gorillaz

Gorillaz is one of the most distinctive and influential music projects of the past two decades, created in 1998 by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett. Conceived as a virtual band with four animated members — 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs — Gorillaz blurred the boundaries between music, visual art, and digital storytelling. Their early releases fused alternative rock, hip-hop, and electronic textures in a way that was groundbreaking at the time, laying the foundation for a musical universe that would expand across albums, short films, animated story arcs, and live performances enhanced by striking visual production.

The band’s 2001 self-titled debut album introduced listeners to a fresh sonic landscape and produced international hits such as “Clint Eastwood” and “Tomorrow Comes Today.” Their follow-up album, Demon Days (2005), cemented Gorillaz as one of the most forward-thinking acts in global music, featuring chart-topping singles like “Feel Good Inc.” and “DARE,” along with ambitious production and a deep dive into the apocalyptic storytelling tone that shaped much of their early identity. Over the years, the collective explored everything from politically charged themes to experimental collaborations, working with artists including De La Soul, Lou Reed, Bobby Womack, Kali Uchis, St. Vincent, Tame Impala, Slowthai, and dozens of others — making collaboration a defining element of their musical DNA.

Later albums such as Plastic Beach (2010) and Humanz (2017) expanded Gorillaz’s world even further, adopting more futuristic, global, and genre-fluid approaches. Their 2020 project, Song Machine, Season One, introduced an episodic format where each track served as a standalone collaboration, reinforcing the band’s commitment to experimentation and multimedia creativity. Across their discography, Gorillaz have earned critical acclaim, Grammy Awards, Brit Awards, and multiple platinum certifications, all while maintaining one of the most recognisable visual identities in music.

Gorillaz’s live performances are known for blending animated elements with real-time musicianship, creating a vibrant hybrid experience. Concerts often combine stunning visual projections, signature character artwork, and an ensemble of guest performers and session musicians. Their upcoming shows at Dublin’s 3Arena on 1–2 April 2026 continue this tradition of immersive production. Fans can expect a set featuring classics like “Clint Eastwood,” “Feel Good Inc.,” and “On Melancholy Hill,” alongside newer material and the bold creative direction tied to The Mountain Tour. With Albarn’s dynamic stage presence and Hewlett’s unmistakable art style shaping the performance environment, Gorillaz concerts remain unlike anything else in live music.

As Gorillaz return to Ireland for this pair of headline dates, they continue to stand as pioneers of genre-blending, cross-media storytelling, and collaborative artistry. For fans, these shows are a rare chance to experience the band’s evolving world live — complete with powerful visuals, unexpected musical twists, and the atmosphere of one of Dublin’s most iconic indoor arenas. Travelling to the event with Irish Concert Travel enhances the experience, keeping the focus firmly on the music and the spectacle waiting at 3Arena.
