Gorillaz will bring their House of Kong exhibit — as well as full-album performances of their upcoming LP The Mountain — to Los Angeles this February.
Following the band’s immersive 25th anniversary exhibit’s debut in London this past summer — which was also accompanied by four full-album performances — the House of Kong will set up shop at Los Angeles’ Rolling Greens from February 26, 2026 through March 19.
The exhibit is a collaboration between Gorillaz’ Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett with artist and creative director Stephen Gallagher.
“House of Kong is not a retrospective, it’s an audio-visual artwork; an installation that takes a glance backwards in order to identify the path ahead,” Gallagher said in a statement. “It’s an honor to have been part of the Gorillaz family over the last 8 years. The outpouring of music and art that I have found myself immersed in, has changed my life. I hope that some of that comes across in this show. This is no ordinary exhibition because in the world of Gorillaz, nothing is ever quite as it seems…” Check out the House of Kong site for ticket information.
Additionally, Gorillaz and their usual staple of all-star guests will perform The Mountain in its entirety on February 22 and 23 at the Hollywood Palladium; House of Kong exhibition ticket holders will receive exclusive presale access for tickets to the one-off Palladium shows. The Mountain arrives March 20, one day after the House of Kong closes in L.A.
“Visitors to House of Kong will take a jaunt behind the curtain of Gorillaz’s extraordinary world,” the band previously said of the exhibit. “A journey through the band’s life of misadventures, musical innovation and ground-breaking virtual ways since these four outsiders – bassist Murdoc Niccals, singer 2D, drummer Russel Hobbs and guitarist Noodle – first came together to blow up a pre-digital world with the release of ‘Tomorrow Comes Today’ in 2000. An exhibition like no other, House of Kong is an experience for the brave and bold.”
