Gorillaz news

A new studio album from Gorillaz, The Now Now, will be released by Warner Bros. Records on June 29, and is available for pre-order now with two instant grat songs, “Humility” and “Lake Zurich.”

Featuring 11 new songs, it was produced by Gorillaz, with James Ford and Remi Kabaka, and recorded at Studio 13, London in February this year.

In contrast to last year’s Grammy-nominated Humanz, The Now Now sees the virtual band largely eschewing guest stars, taking it back to the core Gorillaz crew. 

A new video for “Humility” stars a roller-skating 2D and a busking Jack Black and was directed by Gorillaz co-founder Jamie Hewlett and filmed entirely in Venice Beach, California last month - watch it here.

Gorillaz will bring The Now Now Tour to North America this fall and is set to culminate in the U.S. debut of Gorillaz’ own acclaimed Demon Dayz Festival. Curated by Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the event will make its exclusive appearance for this year at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena & Grounds in Los Angeles on Oct. 20, just 10 minutes from downtown L.A.

The Demon Dayz L.A. lineup will be comprised of special guests and collaborators from within and beyond the Gorillaz extended family. Information on ticket sales and additional attractions will be announced shortly.

Tickets for all tour dates will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, June 8 at 10am PST at Ticketmaster.com. American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public in the U.S., beginning Friday, June 1 at 10am local through Thursday, June 7 at 10pm local and in Canada, beginning Monday, June 4 at 12pm local through Thursday, June 7 at 12pm local.

The Now Now is available as a single CD, vinyl, at all global digital partners, and as a collector’s edition Deluxe Vinyl LP Box Set.
