Gorillaz performed the Humanz track Charger for the first time since 2018 last night at a show in Croatia.

The Mountain tour is set to continue for the rest of the year, with the Damon Albarn-fronted group heading across Europe and later North America for a series of shows. Charger, the song which featured on the band’s 2017 album Humanz, was performed last night for the first time in eight years. Pauline Black was brought in to help with the song, which formed part of the 19-song set. The show in Zagreb follows on from a 30-song blowout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on June 20. Gorillaz will continue performing across Europe and North America this year, and have also scheduled two shows in India for January 2027.

Gorillaz bassist Seye Adelekan previously praised Albarn and illustrator Jamie Hewlett for their work on The Mountain. He wrote on Facebook: “Gorillaz UK tour is done. It has been such a joy bringing not only the music of The Mountain and a whole host of other GZ classics but to be a gang of Humanz that represent so many different languages, ages, nationalities, faiths, musical styles, gender expressions and skills. What Damon and Jamie have built both in the music and the art represent something the world sorely needs right now… Unity. An army for peace. I love this family and this music. I can’t wait for the summer.”

The Damon Albarn-fronted group performed two shows at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, to conclude the UK and Ireland leg of the tour. The band featured a song they have performed just twice this year on their final UK and Ireland date.

The Mountain was performed almost entirely on this tour, with hits and deep cuts from Gorillaz‘s discography also added to the setlist.

Trueno and Sparks opened for the Damon Albarn-fronted group at their huge London show, which will likely be their last UK show of the year. Whether Gorillaz return to the UK is yet to be seen but the band, which has toured The Mountain since March of this year, pulled out all the stops at their show on June 20. Guest spots for Shaun Ryder, Johnny Marr, and Little Simz marked a huge occasion for the band which featured some of their very best works and most of the tracks featured on their latest studio album.

Songs from Plastic Beach and Demon Days were debuted for the first time on this tour, with Ryder’s guestlist spot confirming to fans before the show that Gorillaz would perform Dare. The hit song did feature in the encore of the show, which also made room for the Marr and Paul Simonon-featuring Plastic Beach.
