At the Copper Box event, Gorillaz are set to sneak a peek at their fourth album during their performance
Twenty-five years after their inception, Gorillaz continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of music. The virtual band, created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, has faced initial criticism but remains relevant in today's music scene.
Recently, Albarn confirmed that he has been working on new Gorillaz material, and during a discussion about the House of Kong exhibition at London's Copper Box Arena, he hinted that there might be new material in the final show on September 3, 2025.
The House of Kong exhibition is currently open and runs until September 3, and the first three shows will feature the band playing their first, second, and third albums. Interestingly, all four shows in the final week of the exhibition are sold out, indicating a strong interest in the band's new material.
Albarn mentioned that the new Gorillaz album will be in four languages, a move that reflects the band's global appeal. However, there is no officially confirmed release date yet for the upcoming album. While Albarn has indicated that the new album is coming soon and planned for completion around 2025, recent announcements suggest a 2026 release might be more likely.
The fourth show's setlist is a mystery according to Albarn, adding to the excitement surrounding the band's return. The band is also set to play four limited capacity shows in the final week of the exhibition, promising intimate performances for lucky fans.
Despite the unconfirmed release date, it's clear that Gorillaz are gearing up for a significant comeback, teasing new music around their 25th anniversary concerts later in August and early September 2025. Fans can look forward to these shows for potential previews of the new material.
In conclusion, while the release date for the new Gorillaz album remains unconfirmed, the band's upcoming shows and hints about linguistic diversity in their new music promise an exciting future for this innovative virtual band.
The forthcoming Gorillaz album, promising linguistic diversity, is expected to be a significant addition to their repertoire, given their global appeal in the entertainment industry. As fans eagerly await the release, the band's upcoming shows in August and September 2025 might feature previews of this new music, further fueling the excitement around their announced comeback.
