When Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz announced they’d be releasing a new album — their first in six years — you’d be forgiven if you hadn’t thought much about a band usually made up of “virtual”/cartoon members for a hot minute. But tonight, the band put on its first show in almost seven years, playing their forthcoming album, Humanz, in its entirety to a packed crowd in London. The show was captured live as it unfolded at London’s Printworks with guests like De La Soul, Noel Gallagher, Pusha T, and many others. Turns out these cartoons have a lot of life left in them yet. Check out footage from the show below.
