Gorillaz Listening Party

To mark the release of their new album, The Mountain, Gorillaz are teaming up with record shops to host exclusive listening events. These events allow fans to enjoy the album in its entirety before the official release date.

This is a free event with no purchase necessary and, to celebrate, everyone who preorders a copy of the album is not only guaranteed entry to the event, they will also receive an exclusive poster to take away with them on the day. There will also be the opportunity to preorder a special limited edition white label copy of the album at the event.

Please note, the Ticket Only option is limited to 2 per household and does not guarantee entry as, if the event is oversubscribed, paid preorders will take precedent. This option does not qualify for a free poster.

The Mountain is Gorillaz 9th studio album. The album is a collection of 15 new tracks featuring artists and collaborators including: Ajay Prasanna, Anoushka Shankar, Asha Bhosle, Asha Puthli, Bizarrap, Black Thought, Gruff Rhys, Idles, Jalen Ngonda, Johnny Marr, Kara Jackson, Omar Souleyman, Paul Simonon, Sparks, Trueno and Yasiin Bey; as well as the voices of Bobby Womack, Dave Jolicoeur, Dennis Hopper, Mark E. Smith, Proof and Tony Allen. Produced by Gorillaz, James Ford, Samuel Egglenton, Remi Kabaka Jr. and Bizarrap (Orange County), The Mountain was recorded in London, Devon, Miami, Jaipur, Mumbai, New Delhi and Rishikesh; and features artists performing in five languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish and Yoruba.

The artwork for The Mountain sees Jamie Hewlett’s distinct, yet ever-evolving, style illustrate the world of Gorillaz with an ever more detailed and beautiful intricacy across a series of hand-drawn illustrations. Circumstances find Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, 2D and Noodle in India, where our heroes are immersed in the rhythms of mystical music-making as they navigate the mountainous terrain of this thing called life.
