Published on: May 16, 2022, 12:56 PM PDT

EarthGang has locked down a lucrative gig

as the opening act for Damon Albarn and
Jamie Hewlett’s band Gorillaz as part of an
expansive North American tour. Produced
by Live Nation, the 22-date trek marks the
Gorillaz’s first U.S. trip since 2018 when
they brought Vince Staples and Danny
Brown along for the ride.

The tour kicks off on September 11 in

Vancouver, British Columbia before
heading down the West Coast to Seattle
and Portland. After quick stops at the Life
Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas on
September 17 and Salt Lake City, they hop
back to the California for two dates in Los
Angeles and San Francisco. The tour
eventually wraps up on October 23 in
Miami at the FTX Arena, although
electronic group Jungle will replace
EarthGang on both Florida dates.

Beginning with Del The Funky

Homosapien on “Clint Eastwood,” the
British-born talent and former lead singer
of Blur has always interwoven Hip Hop into
Gorillaz’s music. Speaking to HipHopDX in
2017, he raved about Staples’ music and
the opportunity to collaborate with him on
the song “Love Can Be” from Staples’ 2017
album Big Fish Theory.

“He’s great,” Albarn said at the time. “He’s

doing something different. He’s kind of
anti-Hip Hop, isn’t he? I like that style. I like
that not buying into more of the
distractive aspects of the culture. I was
delighted to be on his album. It made me
happy. We got along great. He’s a real
character. I’m looking forward to hanging
out with him for the next seven weeks.”
