Gorillaz play Boston on Wednesday (10/6) to kick off of the US leg of the Escape to Plastic Beach World Tour, hitting MSG two days later. Tickets are still available. The live band, led by Damon Albarn, will also be joined by a killer lineup up special guests including De La Soul, Little Dragon, Bobby Womack, as well as Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of The Clash. AND, to quote the legendary Onyx, “buh-buh-buh-wait-gets worse!”, as N.E.R.D. will join Gorillaz as opener on all dates.

Opening with “Hot N Fun” and ending with “Lap Dance”, N*E*R*D* played a three-song pop-up “show” on 9/23 in Times Square as part of a Honda promotion. A pic from that appearance is above and video from that show (as well as all tour dates) are below.
