The electric atmosphere surrounding Gorillaz' Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show is set to be relived in all its glory, as a new documentary chronicles the collective's inaugural stadium performance. The event, which took place on June 20, marked a major milestone for the virtual band, and their fans were not disappointed – with a host of guest stars joining them on stage, including Johnny Marr, Little Simz, Shaun Ryder, and Paul Simonon from The Clash.
The cameras and drones that peppered the north London venue did more than just capture the excitement of the live show; they also gathered behind-the-scenes footage of the artists' arrival, the gathering of fans, and the crew's hard work in bringing the event together. "We wanted to showcase the massive effort that goes into staging a production on this scale," revealed visual artist and founding member Jamie Hewlett, speaking to BBC News.
The documentary promises to be an immersive experience, blending live concert footage with animated sequences featuring Gorillaz' iconic characters – 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel. A poignant moment during the performance saw a tribute paid to the late Asha Bhosle, with her granddaughter Zanai stepping in to complete her vocals on 'The Shadowy Light'. The setlist was a masterclass in Gorillaz' eclectic sound, featuring tracks from 'The Mountain', as well as fan favourites like 'Clint Eastwood', 'Dare', and 'Feel Good Inc'.
With its blend of live action and animation, the documentary promises to be an unforgettable ride. But when can fans expect it to drop? Unfortunately, Gorillaz remain tight-lipped on a release date – but rest assured that this is one event you won't want to miss.
