Pop’s animated rebels are officially joining forces with global dance-floor powerhouse for what might be the most electrifying collaboration of 2026: the Future Funk Galaxy Tour. This genre-bending spectacle promises to fuse Gorillaz’ animated dystopian universe with Dua Lipa’s shimmering disco-pop dominance, creating a live experience that feels like stepping into a neon-lit alternate dimension. Fans can expect a collision of funk, electro-pop, hip-hop, and psychedelic visuals all wrapped into one immersive, futuristic production.
The tour concept is said to revolve around a cosmic dance rebellion, where animated visuals meet high-fashion choreography and explosive live instrumentation. Gorillaz will bring their signature virtual band members to life through massive LED projections and holographic storytelling, while Dua Lipa commands the stage with her sleek, high-energy performance style. Rumors hint at reimagined mashups of their biggest hits, surprise guest appearances, and brand-new collaborative tracks designed specifically for stadium-sized singalongs.
Production insiders are teasing a stage design unlike anything either act has attempted before—multi-level platforms, floating screens, chrome-finished set pieces, and a galaxy-inspired light show that transforms each venue into a pulsating universe. From funk-infused basslines to disco anthems and edgy alternative beats, the Future Funk Galaxy Tour aims to bridge fanbases across generations. This is more than a concert; it’s a cinematic dance odyssey built for massive arenas and global headlines.
The Future Funk Galaxy Tour kicks off on May 14, 2026 in Los Angeles, California, before traveling to New York City, Toronto, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney, and Lagos, with additional stops across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The tour will wrap up in Dubai on September 26, 2026, marking one of the most ambitious cross-genre stadium runs of the year. 2026 is officially set to become the year funk meets the future.
