Overview
- The band launched the residency at the Copper Box Arena by performing their 2001 self-titled album in full as the House of Kong exhibition enters its closing week.
- Jamie Hewlett’s visuals foregrounded the virtual members while Damon Albarn and the live band played in silhouette, echoing the project’s early-stage shows at Scala and La Cigale.
- Rare cuts returned as ‘Double Bass’ and ‘Ghost Train’ were performed live for the first time, with several other tracks played for the first time since 2002.
- Miho Hatori made a guest appearance, the group ran ‘Clint Eastwood’ twice, and Albarn stopped and restarted ‘19-2000’ after an onstage error.
- The schedule lists Demon Days in full on August 30, Plastic Beach on September 2, and a billed Mystery Show on September 3, while a new album remains teased for 2025 without a formal announcement.
