Gorillaz have cancelled their entire US tour before it began citing “scheduling conflicts” as the reason for the no-show.
The Getaway 2023 tour was to run from September 10 to 19 in the USA with dates in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and Austin.
Fans first heard of the cancellation via a Ticketmaster email with a statement from the band in the middle. The band is yet to put the statement on their website or socials.
