• Gorillaz Announce Unexpected Hiatus Amid 25th Anniversary Celebrations

In a surprising development, Gorillaz have announced an unexpected hiatus, pausing their activities following their 2025 world tour. This decision comes as a shock to fans who have been eagerly anticipating new music and performances during the band’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

Frontman Damon Albarn revealed in a recent interview that the band would be taking a significant break after the tour, stating, “Since there wasn’t much time between these recent two records it’s probably going to be another 10 years… Mid-September 2028, so please come and see us now.” This announcement suggests that fans may have to wait until 2028 for new material from the virtual band.

Despite this unexpected hiatus, Gorillaz are actively engaged in their “Gorillaz 25” anniversary campaign, which includes curated playlists, exclusive merchandise, and the “House of Kong” exhibition set to open in summer 2025. The band is also proceeding with their world tour, promising groundbreaking visuals and immersive experiences that bring their iconic animated characters—2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel—to life on stage.

While the announcement of the hiatus is bittersweet, fans are encouraged to seize the opportunity to attend the 2025 tour and celebrate the band’s legacy. The hiatus marks the end of an era but also opens the door for future creative endeavors.

Note: This announcement is based on recent developments and may be subject to change. Fans are advised to stay tuned for official updates from

the band.
