After about 18 years of being a fan I finally made it to my first Gorillaz show last night in Fort Worth. Been to plenty of other shows in my lifetime, but I felt like it was a good opportunity to bring my cousin to his first big arena show, as well as go to my first non-Nine Inch Nails show since 2024.

Amazing show! Well worth the wait and my cousin had a great time. I also got humbled because I realized there's still a few Gorillaz songs I don't know.

Like most shows I attend, I got general admission tickets. Not having a lot of space comes with getting a GA ticket, so does not feeling your legs well after the show. Hurts a bit more nowadays, but I wouldn't trade this experience or any of my other pit experiences for a seat that I'd probably have to stand at anyway.

That said, I got a bit frustrated last night.

Context: 2nd row behind barricade, two kids in front of me whom at the very least were at their first Gorillaz show (if not first concert entirely).

So I was aware that Damon comes down and interacts with the crowd. Being 2nd row and not in costume, I was just gonna be happy to tell people I was like a foot away. Obviously, for the two very young fans in front of me on the barricade, that's a life long memory right there if he interacted with them (and he did).

Where the problem comes in is that people who clearly had no chance of getting to the barricade kept trying to push me up front when I had no space whatsoever, effectively pinning the people in front of me to the barricade.

The first time it's whatever due to the initial excitement, but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th times got really frustrating to the point I had to physically hold people back and tell the people behind me that they were shoving me into two young kids who were 1/3rd of my size (and whom were probably a bit stressed out with how the crowd was moving).

On top of this, it's not hard to give up your barricade spot for 3 seconds for a kid to just say hi to Damon. Youll have it for the other hour and 39 minutes of the show!

TL;DR: Old head Gorillaz fan who thinks it's not appropriate to push people into kids so you can get a slightly better picture of Damon.

Got my favourite three albums of the year on cassette (The Mountain being one of them) and my GBA SP with Pokemon Emerald ready to go, well chuffed 👍

We had such a fantabulous evening! Don't think I've danced so hard and sang so loud in a while. Thank you, Gorillaz!

Just got these in the mail today!

The Gorillaz Major Arcana, part 2:

Strenght

"Strenght shows that you have the ability to remain calm and strong even when your life is going through immense struggle. It also shows that you are a compassionate person and you always have time for other people even if it's at your own expense. An upside down Strength card can mean that you are (or about to) experience an intense anger or fear in your life. This can mean that you have forgotten all about your passions and the kind of joy, happiness, and fulfillment that came with doing what you love."

Funfact for this drawing: The flowers on noodle's head are called... Moonflowers. 🤭

I introduced her to Gorillaz about 2 years ago and she’s been obsessed since. She was 2-D and I tried my best at Noodle. It was her idea for us to dress up and she made her shirt herself! ❤️ we had a blast last night!!

My massive merch haul at the Fort Worth show! This is my 3rd time seeing Gorillaz live (Plastic Beach tour, Cracker Island tour, and now The Mountain tour) and they did not disappoint! A perfect show!!!

Just in case y'all wanted to relive such an amazing night! What a blast!! They played all the older songs I was dying to hear and some I didn't know I needed to hear! Only sad we didn't get to hear Shadowy Light, but so grateful I finally got to hear them live <3

I'm going to see them live in a couple weeks and am so pumped, but I've been feeling a bit weird because I'm seeing so many people talk about how many years they've been waiting, or how long they've been fans,etc. I'm 27 and been feeling like a bit of an imposter because I got into them so late 😂 I got into them last December, although rhinestone eyes had been one of my favorite songs for a few years. I just never knew it was by them as I typically enjoy individual songs rather then entire bands (This did not end up applying to Gorillaz once I started listening properly). I do feel super lucky because I get to experience both a new album AND a concert when my excitement and hype is still so fresh, but I'm curious about the general age that people seem to come across them!

From the show at Dickies Arena in Ft Worth! Excellent show!!

My first time ever seeing them, had a great spot about 4 rows back on the floor. It was a great time Austin!

Got my first tattoo today in honor of seeing them in Toronto on the 4th ❤️

I really wanted something subtle but beautiful, and was so lucky to hear El Mañana live. Gorillaz is my husband's and my favourite band, where we'd listen to Demon Dayz until we fell asleep, learned to play Melancholy Hill together on bass and guitar, and watched their live concert videos over and over during the pandemic. The Mountain album really stuck with me this year, after losing multiple family members and later a dear friend of mine to suicide. So grateful for this band.

I was really trying to find a way to be at the show tonight in Fort Worth, I was gonna make the 5 hour drive if I was able to score a last minute ticket. Kept checking all week to see if tickets would get cheaper and they never did so I said oh well, maybe I’ll get to see them one day. I was just hoping they wouldn’t play a song I was dying to see

I look at the setlist they played fucking Opium…

The one song I was hoping I wouldn’t miss 🫠

Or was it just me? I went to the Austin show and took my kid. Gorillaz is their first ever concert and they loved it! My second time seeing em and they did indeed rock the house.

We recently finished this custom Gorillaz-themed Guitar Hero guitar and wanted to share it here.

We're a small project from Argentina called PLAYET, where we build, customize and restore Guitar Hero guitars. We really enjoy bringing these controllers back to life and giving them designs inspired by games, bands and other things we love.

This one turned out pretty nice, so we thought you guys might appreciate it. Let us know what you think.

Dropped half my check on this shi my bf better love me omm lmao

Anyone have the riffed lyrics from Dell near the end of the song?

Hi y’all, I’m trying to figure out which song was playing at the Fort Worth concert tonight when the monkey from the “Laika, Come Home” album was on the screen. I looked at the setlist, but I feel like it’s currently incorrect, because none of the songs on there are the one that I’m looking for.

Really wanna know the name of the song, it was so good. Any help is appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Got this last night and I really want to keep it nice for the years to come, I will of course be washing inside out in cold water, but if anyone else has any advice please let me know 🙏😭
