In 2026, the world of Gorillaz will come alive in Los Angeles like never before. For music lovers, art enthusiasts, and fans of the groundbreaking virtual band, House of Kong promises to be the immersive exhibition of the year. Running from February 26 to March 19, 2026, this event is a journey through the creative universe of the virtual band, combining the best of animation, music, and interactive storytelling. With its debut in London in 2025, the exhibition is now set to bring its electric atmosphere to Rolling Greens, downtown Los Angeles.
An Immersive Exploration of Gorillaz’s Universe
The House of Kong exhibition is much more than just a display of Gorillaz’s music. It is a complete, fully immersive experience that invites visitors to step directly into the virtual world that has shaped the band’s identity. Since the inception of Gorillaz, their animated members—Murdoc, 2D, Noodle, and Russel—have captivated audiences not only through their unique sound but also through their engaging storylines and cinematic visuals. Now, for the first time, fans can experience these characters, their history, and their evolution in an entirely new and interactive way.
Visitors will journey through various rooms, each designed to represent a different phase in Gorillaz’s story. From their breakthrough debut album to their most recent works, each exhibit will bring iconic moments of their music videos and visual albums to life. The use of cutting-edge technology ensures that fans will experience the band’s music and visuals in a way that’s truly dynamic and never before possible.
What Makes House of Kong Stand Out?
What sets House of Kong apart is its unique combination of interactivity and immersion. Unlike traditional music exhibitions, House of Kong allows visitors to actively engage with the art. Here’s a glimpse into what’s in store:
- Live-Action Interactivity: Fans will be able to interact with the Gorillaz characters themselves. Through advanced holographic technology, Murdoc, 2D, Noodle, and Russel will come to life, guiding visitors through different interactive zones of the exhibit.
- Music and Art Merged Together: House of Kong isn’t just about looking at the art—it’s about becoming part of it. Attendees can remix Gorillaz’s tracks in real-time, step into their music videos, and even create their own digital artwork inspired by the band’s unique style.
- Immersive Environments: The exhibition is designed to be as much a sensory experience as a visual one. Expect to walk through environments inspired by Gorillaz’s most iconic music videos like Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc., surrounded by soundscapes and visuals that will make you feel as though you’re part of the band’s animated world.
The Legendary Gorillaz Characters
At the heart of the exhibition are the iconic members of Gorillaz: Murdoc, 2D, Noodle, and Russel. Each of these characters has a unique story that contributes to the band’s identity. In House of Kong, these avatars take on an active role, guiding visitors through different sections of the exhibition.
- Murdoc: The band’s eccentric bassist, known for his mischievous personality and wild antics.
- 2D: The frontman with a cool, aloof demeanor and a signature look, who is often seen lost in his thoughts.
- Noodle: The enigmatic guitarist and multi-talented artist who represents the more mysterious side of Gorillaz.
- Russel: The drummer with a heavy, soulful presence, often depicted as the band’s voice of reason.
Through interactive technology, visitors will encounter these characters as they walk through the exhibit, with the characters narrating key parts of the band’s history, from their beginnings to their evolution.

The event will be held at Rolling Greens, located in the heart of downtown LA. Known for its creative space and open atmosphere, this venue will allow House of Kong to be the expansive, engaging exhibition it was meant to be.
