Gorillaz Set for Long-Awaited India Debut with The Mountain Tour

They have announced a two-city run for January 2027.

Gorillaz, the world's most famous virtual band, is all set to make its highly-anticipated India debut in January 2027 with The Mountain Tour. Created by Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn, the GRAMMY and BRIT Award-winning project will bring its live experience to two major cities. On January 23, 2027, the tour will kick off at the District Arena in Bengaluru. The second show will be held at Jio World Garden, BKC, Mumbai, on January 27, 2027.


Renowned for its iconic virtual members—Noodle, Russel Hobbs, 2D, and Murdoc Niccals—Gorillaz has completely redefined the boundaries of storytelling, music, and art for over two decades. Their India tour follows their ninth studio album, The Mountain’s release. It was launched on February 27, 2026, via KONG, their independent label.

The album has been praised a lot for its global collaborations, including well-known Indian artists like Ajay Prasanna, Asha Puthli, Asha Bhosle, Anoushka Shankar, Ayaan Ali Bangash, and Amaan Ali Bangash. Featuring standout singles such as The Manifesto " and " Orange County/The Hardest Thing and The Happy Dictator, the record continues the legacy of Gorillaz of pushing cultural and sonic boundaries.


“It has been and remains a dream of mine to bring Gorillaz in all its technicolour glory to India,” said Damon Albarn. “It’s just the beginning, and I truly look forward to the experience.”

Jamie Hewlett added, “Our dream has always been to do a tour of India. We’re very excited about returning to play shows in Mumbai and Bengaluru.”


Since their formation, Gorillaz have delivered timeless hits which include Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., and On Melancholy Hill. For fans, their debut in India marks a significant moment, with Albarn leading a full live band alongside guest performers, potentially including their Indian collaborators.


For Mastercard cardholders, pre-sale tickets will be available from April 13 to April 18, 2026, via the District app, followed by general ticket sales that will start from April 18 at 2 PM IST.
