Demon Dayz live — Peep Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's new music festival as it happens, at the revamped Dreamland in Margate.
To celebrate their latest Gorillaz album Humanz, Damon Alburn and Jamie Hewlett are bringing virtually every collaborator on the record to the English coast, for a new, day-long festival this weekend.
Vince Staples, De La Soul, Danny Brown, Little Simz, Popcaan, Kilo Kish and more are all set to make appearances, plus yet-to-be-announced secret guests. (Well well well… We’re hoping for Grace Jones, who’s in the neighbourhood following her Primavera peformance.)
If, like most people, you failed to nab tickets in the 12 minutes before they sold out, fear not. Red Bull TV will be streaming the three-stage event live, Saturday 10th of June from 7 pm BST here.
