![]() I ended up kicking off my own Gorillaz tour at Demon Dayz Festival back in June 2017, followed by shows at Dusseldorf, Sonar, Bilbao BBK and Sziget. The band announced so many shows that I was afforded the freedom to pace myself and carefully choose which concerts to attend. This quite complex plan would also allow me to make it through the next foreseeable Gorillaz drought – after all, you never know when Albarn might change his mind and pause Gorillaz to go back to one of his other countless projects (the fool!). Aiming to correct this enormous fault and finally get a good night’s sleep, I decided to see them as many times as I could. Following the release of Humanz in April 2017, the Gorillaz train was back on track for a year-long tour to bring life to Albarn and Jamie Hellewt’s fictional characters and their music.ĭespite considering myself a die-hard Gorillaz fan, I had never had the opportunity to see them live – a predicament which, I must admit, kept me awake most nights. Long story short, and after an extended hiatus, Albarn and his pals decided to stop screwing around and got back to the studio to reward our everlasting patience with 2 new Gorillaz records in little over a year. ![]() ![]() Trust me, you really don’t know what you are missing until you see them. ![]() Reading it will hopefully convince those of you who – for whatever reason – have yet to treat yourselves to a live show from one of the most diverse and eclectic bands of the 21st century, to do so imperatively. A lot of what you’ll read from yours truly will either be about them or about 50-year old front man Damon Albarn, so I am particularly proud to debut Audio Snobbery’s “Tripping Out” section with a homage to the band’s brilliant live performances. ![]()
