Gorillaz announce two intimate Bradford warm-up shows
Gorillaz are headed two Bradford for two underplay shows ahead of their 2026 arena run.
Gorillaz have announced a pair of intimate warm-up shows in Bradford.
Blur frontman Damon Albarn's animated band will play the underplay shows for their 2026 The Mountain UK and Ireland tour at the 3,500-capcity Bradford Live venue in West Yorkshire on March 13 and 14.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT on Friday (12.12.25). However, a pre-sale takes place on Thursday (11.12.25) at the same time.
The band teased: “The renaissance revival style building combined an auditorium with cinema and stage, ballroom and restaurant.
“Following a period of dereliction, this magnificent art deco building was saved from demolition and fully restored, bringing it back to its former glory as an entertainment hub for the city.”
Following the warm-up shows, the Feel Good Inc. band will head to Manchester's Co-op Live arena in Manchester for two nights starting March 20, before heading to Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, and Belfast.
From there, Gorillaz will play two nights at Dublin's 3Arena on April 1 and 2, before wrapping the run at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on June 20.
In Europe, meanwhile, the festival appearances include Electric Picnic, Primavera Sound Barcelona and Porto, and Rock Werchter.
Meanwhile, the band recently released the track The God Of Lying, featuring Idles.
It's the latest in a slew singles following The Happy Dictator with Sparks and The Manifesto featuring Trueno and late D12 star Proof.
