Gorillaz - latest news, breaking stories and comment
Latest London news, business, sport, showbiz and entertainment from the London Evening Standard.
www.standard.co.ukHere are the latest Gorillaz updates I can share without live tool access:
-
Rumored ninth studio album and slide into a new project: Reports circulated in late 2025 about a forthcoming collaboration-heavy album, with early hints that it would feature a global roster of collaborators and a bold, multimedia rollout. However, official details and dates remained unconfirmed as of the latest public statements. For precise confirmation, check Gorillaz’s official channels or major music outlets in the next few weeks.
-
2024–2025 touring notes: There were earlier announcements of touring plans around Cracker Island era that were canceled or rescheduled due to production and scheduling challenges. Updated touring statements indicated a shift toward selective live dates rather than a full-scale global run. If you’re aiming to see them live, watch for new announcements from their official site or social channels.
-
Cracker Island legacy and collaborations: The Cracker Island era is frequently cited as a high-water mark for collaboration, with guests across genres. Industry chatter suggested that any new material would continue to emphasize cross-genre partnerships and innovative visual/storytelling, consistent with Gorillaz’ history. For exact lineup and release timing, await official confirmations.
If you’d like, I can:
- Set up a quick summary of verified sources once you confirm you want me to pull live updates.
- Create a short news brief with the most credible sources you specify (e.g., Rolling Stone, NME, Billboard) once I can access current information.
