Gorillaz on stage
Completing this years' MTV Europe Music Awards lineup, virtual pioneers Gorillaz are to perform a worldwide exclusive at the awards. The four-piece, who have garnered multi-million sales of their latest album 'Demon Days', are set to break technological boundaries with a revolutionary hologram-style animated performance in 3D with album collaborators De La Soul live on stage.
In line with Gorillaz approach to delivering music, this will be the first time that this kind of technology has been used as part of a live music TV performance. The unique performance can be seen live on MTV base at 22:00-00:00 C.A.T. on 3 November 2005.
'Demon Days', the follow up to the Gorillaz eponymous debut album, was launched earlier this year with the 'Feel Good Inc' which has been nominated for 'Best Video' at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2005.
In addition, Gorillaz have also been nominated for 'Best Group', 'Best Song' and 'Best Pop' and 'Best UK & Ireland Act' at the Awards which air live from the Atlantic Pavilion, Lisbon at 8pm GMT/9pm CET on 3 November 2005.
Gorillaz will join performers Akon, Coldplay, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Madonna, Robbie Williams, Pussycat Dolls, Shakira, System Of A Down and The Black Eyed Peas at the event which will be hosted by 'Borat Sagdiyev' from the Sacha Baron Cohen stable of characters.
Mexican movie star Diego Luna (Y Tu Mama Tambien), R&B singer-songwriter-pianist John Legend and feisty pop trio Sugababes are confirmed to present at the glittering MTV Europe Music Awards alongside Alison Goldfrapp, Anastacia, Brittany Murphy, Craig David, Gael Garcia Bernal, Jared Leto, Luis Figo, Sean Paul, Shaggy and tATu with more presenters to be announced.
