Immersive Gorillaz exhibition to open in New York this September

Gorillaz’s acclaimed House Of Kong exhibition is heading to New York this autumn after debuting in London last year.

The immersive exhibition first launched at the Copper Box in London’s Olympic Park from August through September last year, celebrating 25 years since the virtual band’s formation.

House Of Kong is set to debut in New York on September 1, opening at the Agger Fish Building in Brooklyn, and will run for a limited time until September 28.

"Peek behind the curtain into the unseen world of Gorillaz," they announced, promising an hour-long experience that journeys the band’s "life of misadventures, musical innovation and groundbreaking virtual ways".

Named after their fabled home, Kong, the exhibition looks at all four virtual characters who front the band: bassist Murdoc Niccals, singer 2D, drummer Russel Hobbs and guitarist Noodle.

Initially aimed at celebrating the band’s anniversary, House Of Kong features era-spanning artwork, Jamie Hewlett’s original drawings, and pieces showing the development of each character in the band.

Earlier this month, Gorillaz performed their first-ever stadium show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where they performed a run of tracks from their latest album ‘The Mountain’ as well as fan-favourite classics.

It marked the end of a 13-date tour across the UK, and saw them bring out guests including De La Soul, Johnny Marr, Little Simz, Moonchild Sanelly, Popcaan, Shaun Ryder and more.

House Of Kong will open from 10:AM until 10:PM each day at the Agger Fish Building, with tickets starting at $50. Find out more here, and grab general sale tickets tomorrow from 10:AM ET.
