Gorillaz Announce North American Tour
By Noah Yoo and Jazz Monroe.
Gorillaz have announced a North American tour behind their next studio album Humanz. The tour kicks off in Chicago, IL this July, and includes a string of dates through September and August. Check out the full itinerary below. It follows the announcement in March of Gorillaz’s first North American show in seven years, at Festival d’été de Québec (Quebec City Summer Festival). The new Gorillaz album features Grace Jones, Mavis Staples, Danny Brown, De La Soul, Pusha T, Kali Uchis, Kelela, and many more; several of the guests appeared at their comeback show in London last month.
The LP has already been promoted with the release of four new songs: “Saturnz Barz” [ft.
