Damon Albarn and company also announced four concerts at London’s Copper Box, their first gigs since 2023 Coachella
Gorillaz are hosting a new exhibition this summer to mark 25 years as a band.
The House of Kong exhibition will come to the Copper Box in London from August 8 to September 3, giving fans a glimpse into the band’s longtime creative hub of Kong for the first time ever.
A press release states, “Visitors to House of Kong will take a jaunt behind the curtain of Gorillaz’s extraordinary world. A journey through the band’s life of misadventures, musical innovation and ground-breaking virtual ways since these four outsiders – bassist Murdoc Niccals, singer 2D, drummer Russel Hobbs and guitarist Noodle – first came together to blow up a pre-digital world with the release of ‘Tomorrow Comes Today’ in 2000. An exhibition like no other, House of Kong is an experience for the brave and bold.”

In addition to the exhibition, Gorillaz also announced “four very special standalone one-off limited-capacity live Gorillaz shows at Copper Box Arena taking place on August 29th, August 30th, and September 2nd and 3rd,” the band’s first gigs since Coachella 2023.
News of the exhibition comes after Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn has been teasing a new album from the group this year.
In an interview with French magazine Les Inrockuptibles, he said: “I’m finishing a new Gorillaz album. One opera and one new Gorillaz album seems like enough for 2025! Unless someone accuses me of taking my foot off the gas!”
The band’s last album was 2023’s Cracker Island.
