Gorillaz have announced a summer 2025 residency at London's Copper Box Arena: dates, ticket prices, presale and everything you need to know
Last week Gorillaz announced plans for a huge exhibition at the Copper Box Arena in east London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Titled 'House of Kong', the exhibition will celebrate 25 years of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's virtual band, running from August 8 to September 3.
All of which was exciting enough news for many Gorillaz fans – but this week Albarn and Hewlett have announced an exciting update. The closing days of the 'House of Kong' exhibition will see the band play a series of four one-off gigs, with each show dedicated to playing one of Gorillaz' classic early records in full.
Set to be played are 2001's Gorillaz, 2005's Demon Days and 2010's Plastic Beach, while the fourth gig is tantalisingly billed as a 'Mystery Show'. This'll mark the first time that Gorillaz has ever been played in full, while it'll be the first time that Demon Days and Plastic Beach have been fully played live since their release. Each gig will also recreate the album tours' original visuals.
Keen to catch a one-off show from 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel Hobbs in London this summer? Here's everything you need to know about the band's Copper Box residency, from the dates and when general sale goes live to pricing.
When are Gorillaz playing London in 2025?
While the 'House of Kong' exhibition stretches for nearly an entire month, the gigs all take place between August 29 and September 3.
Full list of Gorillaz tour dates at London's Copper Box Arena
Here are the dates Gorillaz will be in east London, along with the album being played at each show.
August 29 – Gorillaz performed in full
August 30 – Demon Days performed in full

September 3 – Mystery Show
When do Gorillaz tickets go on sale?
General sale goes live at 10am BST on May 30. You'll be able to buy on Ticketmaster here.
Is there a presale?
If you haven't got in on presale, unfortunately it's now too late. Presale was open to those who bought 'House of Kong' exhibition tickets before 11pm BST on May 27, and the tickets went live on May 28 at 10am.
Ticket prices
Tickets will be priced 'from £80', according to the events' website.
What's the capacity of the Copper Box Arena?
These will be comparatively intimate shows, by Gorillaz standards – the Copper Box has a maximum capacity of 7,500. That makes it bigger than the likes of O2 Brixton (around 5,000), but smaller than Alexandra Palace (just over 10,000).
Tickets for the House of Kong exhibition cost £27.50 and you can find them here.
