GUEST STARS ON THE PLATE:
It is generally noted to be "The Gorillaz band plus guests including Bashy, De La Soul, Kano, Little Dragon, Mos Def, National Orchestra for Arabic Music, Gruff Rhys, Shaun Ryder, and Bobby Womack", but at the moment they are only confirming this for Roundhouse.

If you're not in the G-Club and want one of these, I'd join as soon as possible, because we're knocking off the tickets fast. G-Club gets 25% off all concerts played during span of membership. gorillaz.com has all the info.
APRIL 18 COACHELLA HEADLINER.
JAY-Z HEADLINES THE 16, MUSE THE 17, AND THERE IS A 'SPECIAL SURPRISE' IF YOU ARRIVE AT THE CAMPGROUNDS ON THE 15TH.
As far as I know, G-Club doesn't touch this one. stubhub.com may get you a cheaper ticket, it's very touch and go and I cannot promise that it is not a rip-off site. Try it at your own risk.
April 29, 30 London Roundhouse
This is the first time they've performed in London since 2001! "For those not lucky enough to catch the intimate fan club shows, Plastic Beach will touch down in London [...] as the music of Gorillaz is performed over two nights [...]. With songs taken from right across Gorillaz' back catalogue, the Roundhouse dates will include full Gorillaz production, featuring animation, artwork and film," as well as the House Band and guest stars lineup. Outstanding!
TICKET INFORMATION: (Prices before the normal added charges, booking fees, whatnot)
G-CLUB Presale: Tuesday, March 23 at 7:30AM GMT
Live Nation Presale: Thursday, March 24 at 9:00AM. Apparently this presale requires no membereship or extra payment, only website registration - but I'd scour the site to make sure if I were you.
Roundhouse Members Presale: Thursday, March 24 at 10:00AM
General Public: (£45) Friday, March 26 at 9AM
I only have ticket price info for Roundhouse General Public, will grab and/or search for the others later.
This took me an hour to put together because I love you all (but not in Murdoc's 'special way'). <3
Is that all? Am I done? I want to go to bed now.With my crisps and lemonade GOODNIGHT.

Being able to tailor is the best thing ever when you can make a 'I'm on a boat' t-shirt corset for seeing the Gorillaz.
