Gorillaz marked their return in a big way yesterday – no less than announcing their all-new album Humanz (set for release April 28th), Damon Albarn’s group also revealed four new songs from the project as part of a UK-wide radio takeover.
Alongside new music also came the surprise confirmation of an intimate show at a secret venue in London, and tonight that gig kicked off in a mammoth way – Gorillaz played the entirety of Humanz to the packed crowd, alongside welcoming some of the project’s collaborators onstage as special guests. Albarn also confirmed that every contributor will appear alongside Gorillaz at the forthcoming Demon Dayz Festival in Margate later this summer too.
