On June 21, 2018, Gorillaz played Toyosu PIT in Tokyo with Damon Albarn guiding a full ensemble through the layered electronic, hip-hop, and alt-rock collision that has defined the project since 1998, his voice shifting between soft and melancholic and sharp and charged while synths, guitars, and beats built a sound that the venue’s acoustics made feel almost physical, with neon and warm lighting cycling through the room and a Tokyo crowd that swayed and surrendered completely to one of music’s most immersive live experiences.
