Background and promotion
Gorillaz have performed three gigs at Copper Box Arena in London to perform their first three studio albums in entirety between late August and early September 2025. As well, the group has performed a fourth show at the venue under the title "Mystery Show", where they played a new material with several guests. In this one, the attendees have to lock their phones away to prevent any leaks.[2]
On 11 September 2025, the band announced the title of the new album, The Mountain, and released its first single, "The Happy Dictator", featuring Sparks. On the same day, the first dates of the tour were announced in UK and Ireland, including the first Gorillaz stadium concert as a headliner act at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on 20 June 2026.[1][3] Due to high demand, extra dates in Manchester and Dublin were added later.[4][5] Omar Souleyman and Trueno supported the band in the UK and Ireland dates between March and April, while Trueno and Sparks have supported Gorillaz at the London gig in June.[1][6]
Later, dates at European festivals were announced, including Primavera Sound in Barcelona,[7] We Love Green in Paris,[8] Roskilde in Denmark,[9] Rock Werchter in Belgium[10] and many others.
On 27 February 2026, the same day of the worldwide release of the album, the first dates for the Latin American leg were announced.[11]
On 3 March 2026, the band revealed the dates for the North American leg, with support of Deltron 3030 and Little Simz.[12]
On 9 April 2026, two dates in India, where The Mountain was based, were announced, marking the Gorillaz' first ever performances in the country.[13]
