Gorillaz hint at fresh tunes as festivities marking their 25th anniversary kick off
Gorillaz Announce Exciting 25th Anniversary Celebrations with New Music and Reimagined Classics
British virtual band Gorillaz are gearing up for a spectacular 25th anniversary celebration, promising a perfect blend of reflection and reinvention. The band, known for their unique blend of music styles and groundbreaking visuals, has confirmed that a new album is in the works, set for release in 2025, marking their first full-length album since 2023's Cracker Island.
The anniversary celebrations will kick off with a string of special events, including a series of concerts where Gorillaz will perform their first three albums in full. Amidst the excitement, a mystery fourth show remains a secret, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what's to come.
In preparation for the anniversary, Gorillaz have recently released a 3-track EP, Meanwhile, celebrating Carnival and West London. This EP serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the new music that fans can expect during the anniversary concerts, particularly at the elusive September 3 show, where there is speculation that new material might be debuted.
In addition to the concerts, Gorillaz have also announced an expansive exhibition named House of Kong at the Copper Box in London's Olympic Park. This exhibition offers fans a deep dive into Gorillaz's creative world, showcasing visual art, unreleased material, and potentially new music. The House of Kong runs daily until September 3, providing fans with an immersive experience leading up to the anniversary shows.
As if that wasn't enough, fresh artwork is also expected to be showcased in House of Kong, further adding to the excitement surrounding the band's next chapter. However, band member Jamie Hewlett has jokingly urged Damon Albarn to stop discussing new music, adding an element of suspense to the upcoming events.
With the 25th anniversary celebrations promising a revisit of classic Gorillaz albums and potential debuts of new material, these events are shaping up to be defining moments in the band's history. Fans can look forward to a memorable experience as Gorillaz reaffirm their position as pioneers in the music industry.
