Gorillaz return to Mortgage Matchup in Phoenix this fall

It's the band's first visit to the Valley since 2022.

Noodle, to his right, has on heavy white, blue and red makeup. 2D is reading something, and Murdoc, sitting cross-legged, has a large beard, prayer beads, and a bindi. A semi-translucent Hindu deity stands behind the couch, only visible from chest to waist.

Virtual superstars Gorillaz announced a North American tour Tuesday morning, and Phoenix is on the itinerary.

They’ll perform at Mortgage Matchup Center on Friday, Oct. 23.

Following months of speculation and anticipation — as well as a pair of L.A. shows playing new album “The Mountain” in its entirety and the U.S. opening of their House of Kong exhibition — Gorillaz have confirmed details of their first extensive North American tour since 2022. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will see the world’s most successful virtual act once again brought to life by Gorillaz co-creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, with Albarn joined onstage by the Gorillaz live band and some very special guest performers.

Little Simz will join Gorillaz on the majority of the dates, including Phoenix, with Deltron 3030 appearing on all shows.

Tickets will first be available via a KONG Card presale beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 4, followed by a Citi presale at noon local time. To participate in the Gorillaz artist presale at 10 a.m. Friday, March 6, fans must sign up at livemu.sc/gorillaz by 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 5.

The general on-sale will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, March 9, on the Gorillaz website

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level.
