Gorillaz Unveils 2025 London Residency: Complete Album Performances, Ticket Prices Set
Gorillaz Bring Album-by-Album Show to London for 25th Anniversary
Here’s something you don’t see every year—Gorillaz are planning a major London homecoming, marking their 25th anniversary with a four-night residency at London's Copper Box Arena. This is no run-of-the-mill tour stop. Each night, the virtual band will dig deep into their catalog and play a different album in full, giving fans a rare shot to relive whole sonic eras.
The schedule starts with their rough-edged, self-titled Gorillaz debut on August 29, followed by the Grammy-nominated classic Demon Days on August 30. After a quick pause, things heat up again September 2 with the lush, moody Plastic Beach. They’re keeping the fourth gig on September 3 under wraps—billed as a 'Mystery Show,' it will surely stir up speculation on whether fans can expect a forgotten album, new material, or a special guest appearance.
Tickets, Prices, and the House of Kong Experience
Tickets won’t last long, given this is the band’s most intimate London run in years. The Copper Box Arena only holds 7,500 people per night, making this a hot ticket. Prices start at £80, with seats going live through Ticketmaster at 10am BST on May 30. If you were one of the lucky early birds at their House of Kong exhibition, you got a shot at presale tickets before May 27.
Speaking of House of Kong, the multimedia exhibition gives fans a peek inside the visual universe that has set Gorillaz apart since their start in 2000. For £27.50, visitors can wander through interactive installations, dig into the band’s visual lore, and catch exclusive content. The exhibition will run next door to the arena, turning the band’s anniversary into a full-blown celebration of music and art.
Damon Albarn, Remi Kabaka Jr., and their ever-rotating cast of collaborators have turned Gorillaz into a genre-hopping cultural event. Their last UK gig was back in 2021, but their live shows have reached as far as San Diego and even Damascus. Don’t forget, Guinness World Records officially crowned them the world’s most successful virtual act—something not even their cartoon alter-egos could have predicted.
This upcoming residency is set to offer something special for both die-hard fans who have tracked every evolution and newcomers ready for a crash course in Gorillaz’s genre-blending magic. Something tells me those mystery show tickets will be especially coveted—don’t say you weren’t warned.
