Gorillaz stunned fans when they announced a series of surprise shows last week, with tickets selling out instantly – but there’s still time to bag a spot if you know where to look.
As part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel Hobbs will perform four one-off intimate gigs for fans at London’s Copper Box Arena with each performance dedicated to one of the group’s early records.

For instance, the virtual group will perform Gorillaz on 29 August, followed by Demon Days (30 August), and Plastic Beach (2 September).
But the fourth gig is a ‘mystery show’ (3 September) and fans have been eagerly trying to guess what album the band will play.
On Reddit, one predicted: “Full play through of the new album with an encore of older hits.”
Another shared, “Full play through of never before heard songs that will never be played again.”
A third agreed, as they wrote, “It would make sense for it to be the new album, because if they told fans in advance it would be a concert of brand new music, nobody would buy tickets for the other shows.”
So, where can you still buy tickets, and how much do they cost? Scroll down now to find out everything you need to know.

Created by Blur frontman Damon Albarn and comic book artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998, Gorillaz is one of the world’s most successful virtual bands.
The band consists of four animated members: singer Stuart ‘2D’ Pot, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle, and drummer Russel Hobbs.
Their upcoming House of Kong exhibition marks 25 years of Gorillaz, and will take place at London’s Copper Box Arena from August 8 to September 3.
To close the event, the group will perform four one-off shows, and each gig will be an entire run through of one of the band’s early records – with one surprise evening thrown into the mix.
