"Gorillaz will bring "Escape To Plastic Beach" to the Syrian capital of Damascus on July 25th, 2010 and Beirut, Lebanon on the 20th.

The performance will follow Gorillaz taking the headline slots at Byblos Festival in Beirut on July 20th and Spanish Festival Benicassim on July 18th. Featured artists scheduled to appear include: Damon Albarn, Bashy, De La Soul, Mick Jones, Kano, National Orchestra for Arabic Music, Paul Simonon, Bootie Brown and Bobby Womack.

Re: lol

That's pretty offensive. Lebanon is primarily Muslim and Christian. Jews can't live in Lebanon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZDSYqljS98 > If you like Gorillaz (which is obvious if you read G-U) you'll like this too! Nathan Haines ft Damon, I'm sorry if you already know the song, but I really love it and thought it was worth sharing. The intro may be a little boring, but keep listening!

me: the other day i was walking through Pier Park (an outdoor mall on the beach in my town. it's big-ish. look it up. Google.) and over the intercom thing where they play music, i heard the very beautiful sound of Feel Good Inc.! FLORIDA LIKES GORILLAZ!!!

Damon, please, you and your wonderful band of musical monkeys, COME TO FLORIDA. preferibly, Panama City Beach. we NEED to be saved from this awful CRAP on the freakin' radio. too many beiber-lovin'-freaks out here. JUSTIN, BEING ADORABLE IS ONLY GOING TO TAKE YOU SO FAR, YOU NEED AN ANGELIC VOICE LIKE DAMON'S TO BACK IT UP. MORON.

I think it's so cool that they're playing these shows. I would love to visit Damascus and Beirut. I've heard that they're really amazing places. Damascus has so much history and beauty, it truly is one of the places I dream of traveling to. I wish I could just pick up and go to these shows!

Re: video roskilde

There is an article where only one phrase is in English, but I think, we all know, what this phrase is about:
Damon: "Roskilde, you have no idea how much this means to me."
http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/7036/Rock-Werchter/article/detail/1127939/2010/07/02/Gorillaz-op-Roskilde-de-heer-Albarn-houdt-een-feest.dhtml
It is so grate that they are successful there. If only anyone could translate anything ))
