As we reported yesterday, an announcement by Gorillaz of their first Australian tour was imminent. That announcement has come out today and it isn’t for Big Day Out.
Gorillaz will be performing a nationwide tour of arena shows. It is expected to be a similar stage show to their recent performance when they filled in for U2 at Glastonbury, and they’ll be perfoming songs from their new album, Plastic Beach.
There will be a Sub Division presale (details TBA) and and all other tickets go on sale Friday 6th August at 9am. No announcement yet about which guests will be appearing at the shows.
The Gorillaz official Facebook posted this message today, “Stand by WORLD, tomorrow we reveal all!”. Commander Corn adds:- “I’m guessing that’s the reveal of the “Seriously large announcement” notice how WORLD is capitalized…. Maybe announcing more dates for the World leg of the tour?”
Live Nation has just uploaded the official Escape To Plastic Beach Tour trailer. The footage is taken from the Roundhouse shows. Check out the video on Youtube below the dates.
