Much about Gorillaz’s new music festival, Demon Dayz Festival, is still under wraps. Though the lineup outside of Gorillaz has yet to be announced, details around the festival slated to take place on June 10th, at Dreamland in Margate, Kent, UK, are slowly being revealed.
The Gorillaz’s first live performance in five years went down last Friday, during which the group played the entirety of their new album, Humanz, in a secret location for dedicated fans. The group live-streamed the previously released tracks off Humanz via their Facebook, and also dropped some hints about who’ll be joining them at Demon Dayz. Albarn, during the performance noted about Friday’s show, “We’ve got pretty much everyone who’s on the record here. A few people couldn’t make it because they had other stuff that was booked in beforehand. But they’ll be all here when we play [Demon Dayz].”
The confirmed collaborators, as previously leaked earlier in the month but officially confirmed the day before the Friday show, include Mavis Staples, Carly Simon, Grace Jones, De La Soul, Savages’ Jehnny Beth, Pusha T, Danny Brown, Vince Staples, Kelela, and D.R.A.M. Keep an eye out for more Gorrilaz news in the coming months, and make sure to grab Humanz when it drops on April 28th to tide you over till Demon Dayz Festival.
