Gorillaz, the virtual band, marks 25 years since its inception with the unveiling of a new exhibition called House of Kong, scheduled to make its debut in London this summer. Located at the Copper Box in London’s Olympic Park, the exhibition will run from August 8 to September 3, operating daily from 10:30AM to 10PM. House of Kong promises to provide a glimpse into Gorillaz’s artistic evolution over the years, offering a journey through the band’s history of mishaps, musical creativity, and pioneering virtual techniques.
The exhibition draws inspiration from Gorillaz’s mythical abode, Kong, and explores the four virtual personas that lead the band: Murdoc Niccals, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Noodle.

In addition to the unveiling of the exhibition, Gorillaz announced that they will stage four exclusive live performances at the Copper Box Arena during the exhibition’s duration.
