Gorillaz announce 2022 North American Tour Dates

The Gorillaz have announced North American tour dates for the latter half of 2022.  The newly announced tour dates will commence a month after shows throughout Europe for the groups summer tour.

The world’s most famous cartoon music group most recently released the ‘Meanwhile‘ EP in August 2021 and their last full length album was the excellent ‘Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez.’  Along for the ride on the North American tour dates will be Earthgang and Jungle. The group also posted a short teaser video to social media that mentions special guests Sweetie Irie, Fatoumata Diawara, De La Soul and Bootie Brown, who’s collaborations have been a major part of Gorillaz music throughout the years.  The group’s mastermind, Damon Albarn recently made a surprise appearance at Coachella, teaming up with Billie Eilish to perform her single ‘Getting Older‘ as well as ‘Feel Good Inc.,’ which also saw Posdnuos of De La Soul taking the stage to ensure a complete performance of the mega hit track.
