Gorillaz to mark 25th anniversary with ‘House of Kong’ exhibition
The band will give fans a glimpse inside their creative hub for the first time this summer
Gorillaz are hosting a new exhibition this summer to mark 25 years as a band.
The House of Kong exhibition will come to the Copper Box in London from August 8 to September 3, giving fans a glimpse into the band’s longtime creative hub of Kong for the first time ever.
A press release states: Visitors to House of Kong will take a jaunt behind the curtain of Gorillaz’ extraordinary world. 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.”

News of the exhibition comes after Gorillaz mastermind Damon Albarn has been teasing a new album from the group this year.
In an interview with French magazine Les Inrockuptibles, he said: “I’m finishing a new Gorillaz album. One opera and one new Gorillaz album seems like enough for 2025! Unless someone accuses me of taking my foot off the gas!”
The band’s last album was 2023’s Cracker Island. Read the Rolling Stone UK review of the album here and read our interview with the band here.
