Gorillaz headlined London’s All Points East last night (August 19) and debuted a new collaboration with Tame Impala and Bootie Brown – watch them play ‘New Gold’ below.
The band played the Victoria Park festival to kick off the second part of their 2022 European tour, and were supported by IDLES, Turnstile, Yves Tumor, Self Esteem, Femi Kuti, Obongjayar, NewDad, Remi Wolf, Gabriels, Ibeyi, Nia Archives and Willow Kayne.
During their headline set, they brought out a bounty of special guests including De La Soul, Happy Mondays‘ Shaun Ryder, Popcaan, Moonchild Sanelly and Mos Def.
Half way through the set, they then debuted a brand new song called ‘New Gold’, featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown. “It’s kind of a mad song, to be honest with you,” Damon Albarn told the crowd.
Straight after the performance, the track was made available to pre-save on Gorillaz’ official website, hinting that a release date is coming soon.
