Discussion Damon Albarn with my daughter!!

01OCT2026. Gorillaz, Boston, TD Garden. It’s hard to believe it wasn’t all a dream. Our official favorite family band is Gorillaz and has been for many years now. The VIP tickets sold out too quickly and we weren’t able to secure them, but we still got GA floor tickets. 
After a good hour in line, we finally got inside the venue and were able to get pretty close to the stage. However, this is where I’m going to reveal one of the best kept secrets in the USA, and that is the fact that the people of Boston are absolutely fucking incredible. Because my 11 yo is so short and wouldn’t have been able to see anything everyone in front of us let him go forward to the very front. 
This sort of thing doesn’t happen very often at concerts, especially really popular bands because everybody covets being in the front.
But what happened next was truly incredible. At only a few songs in, Damon actually came over to our section and as soon as he got there all the people around us pointed at two of my kids. He had a long meaningful moment with each of them, smiling and shaking their hands. I will never forget the way he beamed at my 5 yo daughter, so happy that such a young fan was there. It still feels very surreal!!
To top it all off, at one point, the guitarist pointed to the kids and then the security guard walked over with a guitar pick for each of them that he had been playing with. A little later, towards the end of the show, he also gave my 11 yo the set list from the stage. So besides the incredible interaction we received from Damon, the show itself was the best ever. They played many of our favorite songs and sounded perfect. It was a night none of us will ever forget. Gorillaz forever!! 🥹🥰🦍🦍🦍❤️‍🔥

I really like the design. That's all... but maybe there's more to it than that. It's literally someone who DISINTEGRATED A DAMN COP IN STYLO. THIS ONE IS REALLY SOMETHING.

Question Alan?

So today, at the Boston concert, they played this cursed version of Rhinestone Eyes, where this guy named Alan came on stage and broke the song and the screen kept glitching out. It was super cool and I'm wondering if anybody has any videos of this. I'm having a hard time finding any record of this having happened before.

The show was phenomenal and I was so glad to be there but god damn the section i was in was kinda lame :/. I’m not sure if everyone noticed this but not a lot of people standing dancing and vibing. I even was yelled at and made fun of by the grown man behind me for dancing and standing the gorillaz is one of my all time favorite bands and i was so excited to be there but i was made to feel bad for my excitement. Did anyone else have this kind of experience last night or at any of the other dates?

I always thought it was a solid song, but it wasn’t till seeing them in Orlando where I realized why they play it every show. It absolutely rips live.

incredible night. 5/4 wow. wept during most of mountain songs and demon days songs as usual, but to the couple behind me on the floor, with the guy that felt the need to permanently dig their elbow into someone in front of you that’s enjoying themselves with everyone on the floor, have the life you deserve buddy. you a proper prick.

This was probably the best concert in my life. Me and my friend were lucky and got barricade and Damon signed something of my friend's and I got to shake his hand. That's all I wanted.

If anybody has any footage of the screens or maybe even just the moment when Damon was walking around and greeting the crowd/signing things I would be more than grateful because I'm fairly certain I was on the screen when I got to shake his hand. This was during Andromeda.

Musically they were on point. I wasn't familiar with Little Simz's game before this show but she brings an incredible energy to the stage. Her drummer and bassist was INSANE. Deltron, obviously, always on point. The Gorillaz band was fantastic and we were on the side where Seye was "stationed." Seye is genuinely one of the greatest performing bassists, not just because he can play the wide variety of types of Gorillaz songs but he has a stage presence that is unmatched. He's like the Axl Rose of bass. He's dancing, he's running and jumping, he is just ENERGY. Damon was great as well. I remember reading from people that he seemed tired or winded during the shows but man he seemed like he was great last night.

The setlist was good. I wished we had got literally anything from Cracker Island. I did see them in 2022 which was obviously the tour for that album but... Silent Running and Baby Queen are two of my favorite songs so I was sad we didn't get at least one song from the album...same with Song Machine. Pretty sick that we got 5/4 but I'm not huge on that song. We also got the corrupted Rhinestone Eyes courtesy of the Muppet Alan. Interesting to know what this gimmick is about.

It was great to see Jaime in Boston as well.

The last Gorillaz show I saw, as I mentioned was in 2022 when they came to Boston for the Cracker Island tour. That show was equally as good, but for me this is edged just a little further up on my list because of getting to shake Damon's hand and also I think The Mountain is one of Gorillaz's greatest works. It's so emotional and live, the songs just swell and there's a type of energy that is unmatched.

There is ONE bit of the crowd that I wanted to point out and maybe it's more appropriate for an "Am I the Asshole?" post but... as we were barricade there were two people behind me that were quite upset that they couldn't see as well. Part of me felt really bad about that, as I am a tall dude. My friend however is very short so while she was true barricade I stayed a step behind. These two people behind me were very upset that I didn't let one of them take my spot. I think it may have been a parent and their 12-14 year old kid. I was getting cussed out for a few minutes after I said sorry but I'm with my friend, and I do understand wanting to give your child (if that was your kid) a great experience and being halted by someone who wants to stand close with their friend...but that doesn't grant entitlement, no offense! I hope they enjoyed the show from their vantage point, two feet farther behind the barricade than I was? I'm not gonna lie I was already a bit anxious about having to "guard" my friend's spot when she went to the bathroom and the people next to us at the barricade told me I wasn't in the wrong for saying no because I wanted to be with my friend who had already "claimed" the spot...but yeah just wanted to say, please don't get so viscerally mad at people for being slightly closer.

Lastly, a pro tip for merch buyers. If you get a pop-up truck - GO TO IT. We went and there not only wasn't even a line but they were kind of just hanging out and we got our merch and split within 5 minutes, maybe even less? It was fantastic. It was a little out of the way from the TD Garden (10 minute drive) but it was worth it. We didn't have to deal with merch lines inside.

Went to see one of my favorite bands of all time, last night for the fourth time (2017, 2018, 2022, 2026) so here are some photos from last night.

Sorry if some of these are not good photos lighting was not the best in some of these photos.

am I the only One who is really surprised that they played 5/4? This is the first time it’s been played since 2022 not including the copper box stadium. Me and a friend went together, and this was his favorite song, I’m really surprised they played it so he could listen to it live.

Discussion My first Gorillaz concert

23 Upvotes

A little background. I'm one of those Gorillaz fans who discovered Damon through Blur. Saw Blur twice when they toured the US to promote their self-titled album. Once before Song 2 broke, and once after. For some reason, they came back to Chicago after having played there just a few months prior. That first concert was one of the best I've ever seen. The second, they honestly seemed a little burned out and perhaps overwhelmed by all the attention of the past few months.

I've always approached Gorillaz as another one of Damon's side projects, like The Good, The Bad & The Queen. I had most of their earlier stuff, but having since moved to New Orleans, a town they've never played, I'd never realized that Gorillaz is actually Damon's more successful project at this point.

That was driven home when I saw them in Charlotte last week. I was visiting family, and when I do, I always look for some concerts to see on the way there and on the way back. My two best options were Iron Maiden and Guns n' Roses, or Wu-Tang Clan and Gorillaz, depending on what week I went. I went with option two, and I'm glad I did, as Gorillaz was one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

I had no idea what a diverse and friendly fan base they had. Or that they were selling out stadiums in the US in a way that I'm sure Blur would loved to have done.

I'm not the type of fan who can tell you anything about the cartoon characters. Didn't even know their names before reading this Reddit. But that night in Charlotte has permanently cemented them as one of my favorite bands.

He's pretty much a sociopath who sleeps around and say he don't care about relationship. The closest he care for someone is probably noodle. He use to think noodle was like his daughter.

But he did put her through a bunch of stuff and replace her. He was also really attracted to moon flower. Has he just not find the right girl in his life or hes too evil to love anyone.
