New Gorillaz Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gig documentary confirmed

A new documentary showing the recent gig from Gorillaz at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London has been confirmed.

The band, formed by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, performed their first ever stadium show at the famous football ground on June 20th, bringing together the best of their old and new hits, as well as a massive line-up of special guests.

Subsequently, given how huge the night itself was, Hewlett confirmed to BBC News that a documentary of the show is in the works, with many fans already having picked up that cameras and drone equipment were in use at the time.

With over 30 musicians having come together from 15 countries for the gig, including the likes of Johnny Marr, Shaun Ryder, Little Simz, and Moonchild Sanelly, Hewlett was keen to express the grand scale that the show put on display.

“The aim is to reveal what it takes to put on a show like this,” he said, referencing the volume of special guests as well as the 62,850-strong crowd.

“We have artists filming themselves getting on planes from different parts of the world, then everybody coming together here in Tottenham, the arrival of the fans, the Gorillaz show, and the aftermath, when there’s only empty beer cups left,” Hewlett added.

According to the publication, the documentary is also set to feature the band’s cartoon characters 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel, although no details on its potential release have yet been revealed.

The stadium show was only one part of a massive year for Gorillaz, with them shortly set to head out on a North American tour over the coming months, as well as confirming their first-ever Indian shows, set to take place next year.

Post Malone reschedules huge Tottenham Hotspur Stadium shows in London

Post Malone has postponed his two huge upcoming stadium shows in London due to scheduled Tube strikes in the capital.

The singer was due to perform at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on September 7th and on September 8th. However, the two shows have now been moved to September 20th and September 21st.

Live Nation UK, the promoters behind the shows, said in a statement: “We’re sorry to announce that, due to planned strikes on the London Underground, we’ve been forced to reschedule the two Post Malone concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.”

They continued: “Without a Tube service, it’s impossible to get people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7th and 8th September.”

Tickets for the show on September 7th will remain valid for the concert on September 20th, and tickets for the September 8th performance will be valid for September 21st.

If fans are unable to attend the rescheduled show, they need to contact their point of purchase before 10am on September 8th in order to receive a full refund. Tickets that have been returned will be placed on general sale to the public on September 9th.

Similarly, last weekend, Coldplay were forced to reschedule two upcoming concerts at Wembley Stadium for the same reason, which were also scheduled for September 7th and September 8th. They have since been moved to September 6th and September 12th.

Coldplay said in a statement: “We’re sorry to announce that, due to planned industrial action on the London Underground, we’ve been forced to reschedule our final two concerts of the current Wembley Stadium run.”

They added, “Without a Tube service, it’s impossible to get 82,000 people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7th and 8th September.”
