AR app brings Gorillaz to New York and London
The performance can be followed in the “Gorillaz Presents” app for iOS or Android. The digital characters and effects of the concert will be integrated into the real city backdrop.
An AR performance will follow at London’s Picadilly Circus on Sunday, December 18, 2022. It starts at 2 p.m. local time. You can also watch this show again in the app after the live performance.
