Gorillaz are going on tour and they’re going to be meeting up with a frankly staggering number of guests, including:

Lou Reed (NYC only)
Mos Def (NYC, Camden and DC only)
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
Bashy
Little Dragon
De La Soul
Bobby Womack
Roses Gabor
Bootie Brown
Kano
Miho Hatori (to appear in Los Angeles and NYC only)

N.E.R.D. has been confirmed as support for the North American dates, joining the tour at Boston’s Agganis Arena and performing on all North American dates except the Montreal opener.

Hardly any of this lot need any introduction, but I caught Hypnotic Brass Ensemble supporting Blur at Hyde Park last year, and they are well worth seeing. You can grab a list of who’s going to be where at Gorillaz.com.
