Gorillaz are currently touring South America, where Thundercat debuted a song while accompanying them on the tour leg. They'll travel around Europe this summer before heading to the United States.

The virtual outfit released their album Song Machine, Season 1: Strange Times (2020) to renewed critical acclaim. The album title promises hope for further music down the line. The virtual nature of the band makes for memorable, spectacular live shows. These arena dates are certainly going to be an extravaganza.
