The announcement of the Psychedelic City Tour sent shockwaves through the music world — a shared roadshow that brings together the genre-bending virtual band Gorillaz and the mind-melting sounds of Tame Impala in a truly collaborative concert experience. Fans had long dreamed of a joint project that fused Gorillaz’s eclectic mix of hip-hop, electronica and alt-rock with Tame Impala’s lush, reverb-soaked psychedelia. Rumors swirled for months online before both camps confirmed the partnership in a stylized video full of swirling visuals and teased song snippets, promising a live show unlike any other seen in recent years.
From the outset, the Psychedelic City Tour was designed to be a global spectacle, with each stop reflecting the sonic identities of both artists. Expect animated visuals that morph in real time to the groove-laden rhythms of Kevin Parker’s compositions, interlaced with Gorillaz’s cartoon avatars performing their genre-defying catalog. Collaborations are expected on stage too, with extended live jams, surprise guest appearances, and reimagined versions of fan favorites from across both discographies. Industry insiders are already calling it “the summer’s audiovisual event of the decade.”
According to the tour rollout, the Psychedelic City Tour will hit major cultural capitals across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, with headline dates including New York City, London, Tokyo, and Sydney — each city hosting a luminous night of music, art, and immersive production. The confirmed dates and cities for the 2026 tour are July 9 — New York City, USA; July 16 — Montreal, Canada; July 23 — London, UK; July 30 — Berlin, Germany; August 6 — Amsterdam, Netherlands; August 13 — Tokyo, Japan; August 20 — Sydney, Australia; with support sets and multimedia experiences rounding out every show.
