Gorillaz have announced the full list of guest performers for their first-ever headline stadium show, taking place at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday 20th June, with a limited number of production hold tickets just released via gorillaz.com.
The show marks a landmark moment for Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s virtual band, who have toured the world across 25 years without ever before headlining at stadium scale. Support comes from Sparks and Trueno, both of whom also appear in the main set alongside a guest list of 22 artists: Anoushka Shankar, Asha Puthli, Bashy, Black Thought, Bootie Brown, De La Soul, Fatoumata Diawara, Gruff Rhys, Johnny Marr, Kara Jackson, Little Simz, London Arab Orchestra, Moonchild Sanelly, Omar Souleyman, Paul Simonon, Popcaan, Roses Gabor, Shaun Ryder, Yasiin Bey and Yukimi.
The show follows a triumphant 13-date UK and Ireland tour earlier this year in support of The Mountain, Gorillaz’ ninth studio album and first release on their own KONG label. The album, produced by Gorillaz alongside James Ford, Samuel Egglenton and Remi Kabaka Jr., features 15 tracks recorded across London, Devon, India, Damascus, Los Angeles and New York, with artists performing in five languages. Its collaborators include Anoushka Shankar, IDLES, Bizarrap, Jalen Ngonda, Kara Jackson and Mark E. Smith, alongside the voices of friends who have gone before, including Tony Allen, Bobby Womack, Dave Jolicoeur and Proof.
Clash called the Mountain tour “a triumphant show and a true celebration of a strange, eclectic, ever-evolving outfit that has quietly become one of the most singular musical forces of the past three decades.” Rolling Stone UK awarded it four stars. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show is the culmination of that run before the Mountain World Tour heads to European festivals this summer, then North America and South America in the autumn, and India for the very first time in January 2027.
