The world of Gorillaz was established on 26 March 2001 with the release of an eponymous debut album from a band like no other, before or since. 2D, Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs and guitar prodigy Noodle burst onto the global stage following a collision of mishaps, meetings and pure luck to blow up a pre-digital world with their colourful backstory and ground-breaking virtual ways.

The combined creative genius of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett set a new standard of what was possible, with dazzling visuals and a string of smash hits including Clint Eastwood, 19-2000 and Tomorrow Comes Today that to this day – feels like a glimpse into the future.
