Gorillaz have announced that their ninth studio album The Mountain will arrive on 20th March 2026 via the band’s own new label KONG. The Mountain features 15 tracks with guest contributions from the likes of Gruff Rhys, IDLES, Jalen Ngonda, Johnny Marr, Kara Jackson, Omar Souleyman, Paul Simonon and Yasiin Bey; alongside the voices of friends and collaborators who have gone before us, including Bobby Womack, Dave Jolicoeur, Dennis Hopper, Mark E Smith, Proof and Tony Allen.

Gorillaz have previewed The Mountain with ‘The Happy Dictator (feat. Sparks)’ and announced a huge tour including shows in Belfast and Dublin – details below.

The artwork for The Mountain sees visual artist Jamie Hewlett’s distinctive, yet ever-evolving, style illustrate the world of Gorillaz with detailed and beautiful intricacy across a series of hand-drawn images which capture Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D’s time in India working on the new album, available both as a book and as a collection of 12×12 prints.
