Gorillaz confirm Primavera and Roskilde dates

Gorillaz have now been pinned to two of Europe’s biggest 2026 festival calendars, with Primavera Sound Barcelona and Roskilde Festival both carrying the band on official lineup materials. The band’s own tour page also lists Primavera Sound in Barcelona from June 4 to June 7 and Roskilde in Denmark on July 2, aligning with festival postings. Primavera Sound first included Gorillaz in its Barcelona 2026 lineup announcement published on September 25, 2025, alongside The Cure, Doja Cat, The xx, Massive Attack, Addison Rae and my bloody valentine. The festival later published its daily split, saying The xx and Gorillaz would headline one of the three main days of the 24th edition. (gorillaz.com) Roskilde Festival announced Gorillaz in its first 24 acts for the 2026 edition on October 30, 2025. The Danish festival said Gorillaz would play its “new, larger Orange Stage” next summer, and the event’s artist page now lists the group in the 2026 music program. ### Which dates are actually confirmed? The band’s official tour page is the clearest cross-check now available. (primaverasound.com) It lists “Primavera Sound 2026 - Barcelona” across June 4-7, 2026, and “ROSKILDE FESTIVAL” on July 2, 2026. Primavera Sound’s own materials frame the Barcelona event as running June 3-7, 2026, with the three main music days falling inside that window. Roskilde’s 2026 festival runs from June 27 to July 4, according to lineup coverage tied to the event’s first artist announcement.

Primavera Sound’s daily-lineup announcement places Gorillaz with The xx as one of the paired top-line acts on a main festival day. The same announcement grouped Doja Cat with Massive Attack on another day and The Cure with Addison Rae on a third, showing Gorillaz in the festival’s top tier rather than as a lower-card addition. (primaverasound.com) Primavera’s lineup page also continues to carry Gorillaz among the artists performing in Barcelona. The festival site says the event will take place at Parc del Fòrum. ### What has Roskilde said about the booking? Roskilde Festival said in its October 2025 announcement that Gorillaz were among “the biggest names” in the first 24 artists for 2026. (primaverasound.com) The festival added that the band would “take over” the expanded Orange Stage next summer. Roskilde’s artist page for Gorillaz remains live in the 2026 lineup. (primaverasound.com) The English-language page says the band are back in 2026 with the album “The Mountain,” while the festival listing confirms the booking itself regardless of album rollout details. ### Is this part of a wider 2026 run? The Gorillaz tour page shows these two festivals as part of a broader summer route across Europe. (roskilde-festival.dk) The same page lists additional stops including We Love Green in Paris on June 5, Primavera Porto on June 12, Rock Werchter on July 4 and Way Out West on August 15. WRIF’s May 22 festival coverage also cited Gorillaz among acts booked for multiple 2026 festivals, including Primavera Sound and Roskilde, reinforcing what the official festival pages already show. (roskilde-festival.dk) ### What should readers watch next? June 4-7, 2026 is the date block shown on Gorillaz’ tour page for Primavera Sound Barcelona, while July 2, 2026 is the date shown there for Roskilde Festival. (gorillaz.com) Festival lineup pages and set-time pages are the next places likely to narrow those appearances to exact day-and-stage scheduling.
