10 iconic Gorillaz moments

Headlining Glastonbury
Getting booked in Panorama Bar, playing the main room at Time Warp, headlining fabric Room 1: there are some special musical milestones that are worth celebrating for any performer. By anyone’s standards, headlining Glastonbury is up there among the upper, upper echelons.
Gorillaz’s performance was special for a number of reasons: it made Damon Albarn the first person to ever headline the festival two years running (following Blur’s slot in 2009), they brought out a string of high profile guests including Lou Reed, Kano and Snoop Dogg, and it also meant the Glastonbury crowd/TV watchers were saved from suffering through originally planned headliner’s U2 for another year.
