GORILLAZ North American Tour Fall 2026

Published

on

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 US 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 on these shores by Gorillaz co-creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, with Albarn joined onstage by the Gorillaz live band and some very special guest performers. The newly announced series of 22 sure-to-be-unforgettable arena dates across the U.S. and Canada (plus a headline appearance at the Shaky Knees festival) begins September 17 in Orlando, FL and wraps up with a Halloween night finale in Seattle, WA. Little Simz will join Gorillaz on the majority of the dates, with Deltron 3030 appearing on all shows.

The Gorillaz live experience hailed by ROLLING STONE as “an overwhelming pop spectacle, with Damon Albarn’s steady presence to keep the audience focused” draws on a quarter century of genre-bending, paradigm-shifting, consistently innovative musical brilliance. Since their creation at the hands of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs have amassed an unparalleled arsenal of classic tunes including “Feel Good Inc.,” “Clint Eastwood,” “On Melancholy Hill,” “DARE,” “Dirty Harry,” “Stylo,” “Kids with Guns,” “Tomorrow Comes Today,” “Rhinestone Eyes” and literally dozens more. The BRIT and GRAMMY Award winning band’s latest album The Mountain was released February 27 on their own new independent KONG label, preceded by joyously received singles “The Happy Dictator (featuring Sparks),” “The Manifesto (featuring Trueno and Proof),” “The God of Lying (featuring IDLES),” “Damascus (featuring Omar Souleyman and Yasiin Bey)” and “Orange County (featuring Bizarrap, Kara Jackson & Anoushka Shankar)”/ “The Hardest Thing (featuring Tony Allen).” The Mountain is the latest instalment in the towering Gorillaz discography that includes Gorillaz (2001), Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach (2010), The Fall (2011), Humanz (2017), The Now Now (2018), Song Machine – Season One: Strange Timez(2020), and Cracker Island (2023).

A truly global phenomenon, Gorillaz have achieved success in entirely groundbreaking and unique ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, Montevideo to Manchester and winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band is recognized by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.

Stray Kids Announce 2027 World Tour ‘RUN IT’ Across North America, Europe and the UK

Published

on

StrayKids_2027_National

Global superstars Stray Kids today announced their highly anticipated 2027 World Tour ‘RUN IT,’ featuring stadium shows across North America, Europe and the UK next year. The tour kicks off Sunday, May 16 at Lumen Field in Seattle before continuing to Vancouver, Santa Clara, San Diego, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, East Rutherford, Paris, London, Munich, Barcelona and more, finally wrapping next summer at San Siro Stadium in Milan.

As previously announced, Lee Know will not participate in the North American and European legs of the tour as he will begin his mandatory military service ahead of those dates. While he fulfills his service, the remaining seven members will continue the tour, bringing the full-scale Stray Kids live experience to fans around the world.

The announcement follows Stray Kids’ recent series of special ‘STRAYCITY’ performances across Latin America this fall, which brought the group to Buenos Aires, Bogotá and Mexico City, with support from NEXZ, Bad Milk, Kei Linch, K4OS, Cocho, Andrés Obregón and RENEE, with lineups varying by city. The group also headlined Rock in Rio, making history as both the first K-pop act to headline the festival and the first K-pop act ever to perform at the event.

These milestones build on Stray Kids’ headline appearances at BST Hyde Park in London and Lollapalooza Chicago in 2024, and their record-breaking Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE> that ended in 2025. The tour spanned 56 shows across 35 regions and played iconic venues around the world, including sold out multi-night runs at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Citi Field in New York, Globe Life Field in Arlington, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, and Stade de France in Paris. 

Stray Kids World Tour ‘RUN IT’ supports the group’s latest release, THIS & THAT, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. With this milestone, Stray Kids became the first act in history to debut their first nine charting albums at No. 1. This achievement further extended their record as the K-pop act with the most No. 1 albums in Billboard 200 history, as well as the group with the most Billboard 200 No. 1 albums of the 21st century. 

In 2026, Stray Kids also earned six new RIAA certifications across their catalog, including Platinum certification for “God’s Menu” and Gold certifications for KARMA, “LALALALA,” “Chk Chk Boom,” “S-Class” and “CASE 143,” further cementing their position as one of the leading forces in global music.

Fall Out Boy Announces 2027 Twilight of the Punks Headline World Tour & Returns With Highly Anticipated New Single “ACES”

Published

on

2027 Twilight of the Punks

GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Fall Out Boy is gearing up for a massive 2027 with the announcement of their Twilight of the Punks global headline tour, the biggest of their career, with 36 dates performing at stadiums and arenas across Europe, the UK, and North America in 2027. The announcement comes alongside the band’s long-awaited return with a brand-new song “ACES” which marks their first new original single in over three years – now available HERE via Atlantic Records and joined by an official music video HERE.

Promoted by Live Nation, the Twilight of the Punks Tour kicks off May 17 at Prague’s O2 Arena, launching a 15-date European and UK leg before heading to North America in July. Spanning 11 countries, the European and UK run will take the band to arenas in Budapest, Milan, Madrid, Lyon, Brussels, and Mönchengladbach, followed by stops in Glasgow, Dublin, and Manchester. Highlights include a massive June 5 performance at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with additional shows in Amsterdam, Paris, and Berlin before the leg wraps June 13 at Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland. A Day To Remember and Neck Deep will join as special guests on all European and UK dates.

The tour continues in North America on July 13, with Fall Out Boy bringing their electrifying live show to stadiums across the US and Canada for a massive 21-date headlining run, kicking off at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and wrapping August 26 at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon. The stadium trek will see the band take over some of North America’s most iconic venues, including Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, Boston’s Fenway Park, New York’s Citi Field, and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium. Among the most anticipated stops is a monumental show at Chicago’s legendary Soldier Field, marking a major career milestone as the band returns to the city where it all began for a landmark hometown stadium performance. The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and The Story So Far will join as special guests on most U.S. dates.

This year also marks a major milestone as Fall Out Boy celebrates 25 years as a band, and they are kicking off their highly-anticipated next chapter with the release of “ACES,”produced and mixed by longtime collaborator Neil Avron, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. The new track channels the raw energy, infectious hooks, and unmistakable spirit of the band’s early days, delivering a nostalgic nod to the sound that helped establish the band as one of pop-punk’s most influential acts. In tandem with the song’s release, the band also unveiled the official music video, directed by Brendan Walter – WATCH HERE. 

Fall Out Boy began teasing fans just ahead of Halloween, sparking widespread speculation and excitement surrounding a major announcement. The mystery began with a cryptic Instagram post welcoming fans to the “Twilight Town Mall,” followed by the transformation of the band’s website into an interactive shopping directory, complete with an arcade, photo studio, food court, and more. The elaborate rollout quickly ignited a frenzy of excitement and chatter among fans worldwide, with anticipation continuing to build last Wednesday when the “Two Quarters Arcade” launched on the site. Created in partnership with Brooklyn creative agency LOOP, the virtual arcade featured a live, interactive claw machine that gave fans from all over the world the chance to remotely control a real-life claw machine and win a Fall Out Boy alien plush. The activation sparked an overwhelming response within hours of launching, drawing nearly a million site visits and generating an astonishing 6.1 million minutes of watch time, with so much traffic that it temporarily crashed the servers. As a thank you for the incredible enthusiasm, the band is bringing the claw machine back for a limited time today, giving fans another chance to play and win by visiting twoquartersarcade.com/.
