The band will take to the 3,500-capacity venue Bradford Live in West Yorkshire on Friday March 13 and Saturday March 14.
Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT this Friday (December 12) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale at the same time tomorrow (Thursday December 11) by signing up here before 8am GMT tomorrow morning.
The venue now known as Bradford Live first opened its doors in 1930 as a 3,318-seat art deco cine-variety theatre, per its official website. It has previously been known as the New Victoria, the Gaumont and the Odeon.
“The renaissance revival style building combined an auditorium with cinema and stage, ballroom and restaurant,” the post reads.
“Following a period of dereliction, this magnificent art deco building was saved from demolition and fully restored, bringing it back to its former glory as an entertainment hub for the city.”
Bradford is the 2025 City of Culture, and will see Gorillaz perform there shortly before kicking off their UK and Ireland arena dates in Manchester on March 20. Find any remaining tickets for the rest of the tour here.
They’ll also play a huge gig at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next summer, and perform at numerous European festivals, including Electric Picnic, Primavera Sound Barcelona and Porto, and Rock Werchter.
