Tonight, Britpop powerhouse Gorillaz touched down at Montreal’s Bell Center! The night opened with Atlanta’s duo EarthGang, with rappers Olu and WowGr8 doing a solid job at warming up the audience and not getting engulfed alone on the large stage.
Shortly before 9pm, Gorillaz emerged onstage to the sounds of “Hello, is anybody there?” from track M1A1. They followed with Last Living Souls and Tranz, kicking off their show just like they did during their last visit in 2018. While frontman Damon Albarn jumped around the stage singing into his megaphone mic, projections of Murdoc, Russel and Noodle (the animated faces of the virtual band) followed in the backdrop. The band ended their 26-track show with the classics Feel Good Inc. and Clint Eastwood, closing a great night of music, after almost exactly 4 years since they last visited. Now let’s hope we don’t have to wait 4 more years for the next one!
