Gorillaz confirmed for an exclusive UK show at Boomtown 2018

The golden group are the first headliners revealed for the festival’s 10th chapter

Gorillaz have been announced as the first headline act set to play at Boomtown Fair’s Chapter 10 celebrations next summer.

In a statement, festival organisers expressed their excitement for the forthcoming live performance, claiming: “Having Gorillaz perform on our newly rebuilt Lion’s Den arena is beyond anything we could have imagined when we first started 10 years ago! It’s unbelievably exciting to start collaborating for this one off show next summer and to delve into all the ways in which we can make the very most of the similarities between our musical styles and story based performance!”

Boomtown 2018 takes place from August 9 to 12 in the Hampshire countryside, and will be yet another diverse display of art, music and performance.
