By editorial board on June 23, 2023

The tour, which was set to feature support from Kaytranada, Lil Yachty & Remi Wolf, was scheduled for September.

Gorillaz‘s The Getaway 2023 tour will no longer take place, as the the virtual group have canceled the run of shows, the quartet announced Wednesday.

The tour would have seen the band play four dates across the United States in Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago and Boston from Sept. 10 to 19, but on Wednesday, Ticketmaster issued an update to fans who had already purchased tickets that the trek will no longer take place. Kaytranada, Lil Yachty and Remi Wolf were all scheduled to join the band on the tour.

“Due to scheduling conflicts and circumstances beyond our control, the previously announced Gorillaz shows in September have been cancelled,” the ticketing giant wrote in an email to attendees. “Refunds will be issued automatically at your point of purchase and will be processed as quickly as possible, there is nothing further for you to do at this time. Please allow for up to 30 days for the refund to process.”

Gorillaz shared a statement of its own in the email, writing to fans, “We are gutted not to be able to perform for you this year. We were really looking forward to it and we hope to get back to you again as soon as we can. We love our Gorillaz family and we can’t wait to see you again.”

Previously, Gorillaz did back-to-back performances at Coachella in April and embarked on a 2022 World Tour led by Damon Albarn and a 14-piece live band, which featured multiple guest performers.

Stevie Nicks enthused about being an "honorary" member of Gorillaz: both singing on the virtual band’s upcoming song "Oil" and popping up — in animated form — in the music video.

“Well, I have to tell you, it was really great,” said Nicks. “Because [‘Cracker Island’ co-producer] Greg Kurstin sent [the song] to me. I call Greg back, and I go, ‘Oh, I think this is now our new favorite song, and I haven’t even sung on it yet. But yes, I would love to do this.'”

Nicks added, “I learned that song as if I had written that song and as if I was an Englishman, with that accent. And I love it so much.”

The track, which you can listen to below, is the fourth to be taken from forthcoming new album ‘Cracker Island’ after ‘Baby Queen’, ‘New Gold’ and ‘Possession Island’.

Their new album is on out on February 24, 2023 via Parlophone.

Stevie Nicks is still feeling the rush after working with Gorillaz on their forthcoming eighth album.
