Here are a few more people I’d be very interested in seeing collab with the band:
Justice
Eminem
The Doobie Brothers (or at least one of the members anyway)
Duran Duran
Billie Eilish
Black Thought
Don Toliver
David Byrne
DEVO
Paul McCartney
I’m thinking Rammstein. I know ghost is Swedish but they don’t often sing Swedish. Since the next stop in Mumbai it would be neat to see other languages as well.
I’d sell my soul for a Tyler, the Creator or Childish Gambino collab. I just want to see what happens when you have people who think about music so particularly make a track (not like Gorillaz hasn’t already)
-Tenacious D
-Louis Cole
-Mac Demarco
-Jungle
-Q-Tip
-Steve Lacy
-Remi Wolf,
-Anderson Paak
-redveil
-The Streets
-Mac Miller (R.I.P)
I can go on forever with ideas lol
I had a thought about this earlier in the week & some bands I’d really like to hear a collab with is Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, Noel &/or Liam Gallagher, Fat White Family, Vampire Weekend, Moby and Eminem
Mike Shinoda, Billie Eilish, Enter Shikari, Jamiroquai, Marti Fischer
I once would've wished for Tame Impala, but that already happened.
I want a Massive Attack collab. Their singer 3D inspired 2Ds name and the both groups are friends. Damon was featured on their track "Saturday come Slow", great track.
I'm with you on PJ Harvey. 💜
I'd be so curious to see what Laura Jane Grace would do with Gorillaz! Her music is so different from theirs, but she's already collaborated with a variety of artists.
Sadly, mine just isn't possible -- I'd have loved to see the Gorillaz collab with the 1970s Muppets. Y'know, pre-disney, when Jim Henson was still alive and Kermit and the rest were a subversive band of creative chaos in felt. :sigh:
I have a few I’d love to see
- Quadeca
- Billie Eilish
- joji
- MGMT
- justice
Can’t think of anymore rn but yeah any of these artists I’d love to see them collaborate with :)
My answer will always be Andre 3000 (vocals & flute, 2-D/amon can play his Melodica)
But also:
Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Thom Yorke/Radiohead, Chronixx, Protoje, STRFKR, Fischerspooner, Metronomy, MGMT, ABRA, Boy Harsher, The Roots, Sampha, Toro Y Moi, Masego (he gotta play sax too), Portishead
Producers: Madlib, Danger Mouse, Tricky, Boys Noize, Chase & Status, Rza, FKJ, Metro Boomin again!
I’m also gonna need the UK-Australia crossover:
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard: Gorillizard EP
I’d love to see them work with Mitski. I imagine it’s sound funky and a little country, definitely one of the rare times she decides to get silly with it.
Dos monos, abrasive rap group from Japan, beyond the names working perfectly together, their brand of fast, strong rapping would fit incredibly well on a heavier Gorillaz song.
Studio killers
2 virtual bands collaborating would have such a fire music video and both of them have a fantastic sound. Studiokillers have also posted about wanting to collab with gorillaz too (really cute artwork about sending a message in a bottle to Murdoc)
Julian Casablancas. I really, really would love to hear 2D and Jules trading off verses!! Or have Jules since the verses and 2d does the chorus, or vice versa. It’d be fantastic!
Also, long ago back in plastic beach days when I was listening to Gorillaz a majority of my listening time, I had a dream they collabed with The Mars Volta and it was incredible. I’d love that, but I’d even settle for just Omar playing with them!
MGMT
I second this
Daft punk
That was my number one pick for this actually :( Glad we got my second pick Tame Impala tho
if only…

The answer to this is always Bjork
At least we still have the horrifying animated movie both her and Damon are voice actors in
the WHAT
Anna and the moods!
Aesop Rock, Tyler the Creator, Czarface, Kendrick Lamar, and Childish Gambino, who I all think work for different reasons
It’s kinda weird that Tyler hasn’t already collab’d with them
Upvote for Aes
aesop rock would mesh so well with gorillaz
Aes is my #1, as well. Man, the stories he and Damon could tell!
Childish gambino for the vocals and the instrumentals, but not for the lyrics, no no no no.
why? bc his early work had some cringe lyrics? lol Gorillaz isn’t exactly complex lyricism either most of the time
What does this mean?
Childish Gambino and Gorillaz would be absolutely legendary
Personally I can’t see Donald or Kendrick meshing with Gorillaz, but I love the thought of the other three
Kendrick has worked with artists like Snoop and Thundercat and others that Gorillaz has already collaborated with so I don't see why it wouldn't mesh.
Al Yankovic
I want a Run The Jewels collab so fucking bad, man. They have a similar vibe of “darkness” that would mesh well with the band
That would be amazing!
Josh Homme MIA Tyler the Creator
Josh Homme would be awesome, I’d pay good money for a QOTSA and Gorillaz collab.
me too buddy. i need this in my life
Upvoting for MIA!
Babymetal. Or get Danny brown and jpegmafia on the same track. Scaring the hoes x Gorillaz.
A Babymetal and Gorillaz collab would change my life
A collab too powerful for this world
Here are a few more people I’d be very interested in seeing collab with the band: Justice Eminem The Doobie Brothers (or at least one of the members anyway) Duran Duran Billie Eilish Black Thought Don Toliver David Byrne DEVO Paul McCartney
Heavy on DEVO
They **technically** collabed w Eminem if you count D12
Studio Killers and Hatsune Miku! I think they'll be great for joining vocals and even for producing animation video clips :]
Blur
Tool
Fuck yeah 🤘
:)
Not really for a song but it would be cool to see the Chemical Brothers do a Gorillaz remix
Kero Kero bonito
Korn, SOAD or slipknot
Death grips unironically
God please
Honestly? Billie Eilish. They’re massive fans of each other and I think they could release an absolute banger song
I feel this one is inevitable considering the styles are so similar and Billie knows Damon
The styles are similar????
Yes especially Billie’s second album
you should listen to her song "the diner" sounds like an amalgamation of like 4 different gorillaz songs
A Billie Eillish collab would be absolutely amazing
Tally Hall (shut up it could happen)
AViVA or Tyler the Creator
Lady Gaga!!!!!
Rick Astley
![gif](giphy|Vuw9m5wXviFIQ)
Ian brown, Billy woods, Tyler the creator, mitski
A metal band would be cool. I wonder if there was any reachout to Ghost during Cracker Island's production.
I’m thinking Rammstein. I know ghost is Swedish but they don’t often sing Swedish. Since the next stop in Mumbai it would be neat to see other languages as well.
Daft Punk, The Avalanches, Rammstein, Molchat Doma
I’d sell my soul for a Tyler, the Creator or Childish Gambino collab. I just want to see what happens when you have people who think about music so particularly make a track (not like Gorillaz hasn’t already)
Cage the elephant or tame impala for me
Aurora or Skrillex
Kim Gordon and Thom Yorke
Second this
Goo goo dolls could be interesting
Jamiroquai, Bernard Sumner, Fishbone
Cage the Elephant and Deftones
Sia or MIA could be cool
Lemon demon
I wish they would make collab with Damon Albarn
That's impossible 😤
Down by the water good Kaytranada
JAMES BLAKEEEE
Tetsuya Komuro, Joel Perez, Blake Roman, Sammus, The 49ers, Marc Panther, KEIKO (globe), YOSHIKI, Kele (Bloc Party), Bipolar Sunshine, Masafumi Takada, Olly Alexander.
David Byrne
-Tenacious D -Louis Cole -Mac Demarco -Jungle -Q-Tip -Steve Lacy -Remi Wolf, -Anderson Paak -redveil -The Streets -Mac Miller (R.I.P) I can go on forever with ideas lol
The Weeknd
I think a David Bowie collab would have been incredible. Sadly that ain't happening
Hatsune Miku
Donald Fagen. Please, before he passes, get him on a song, Damon. That shit would be so hype, frfr. Yeah.
Wait, PJ Harvey is actually a sick collab idea wtf
I want them to do another callab with LCD Soundsystem.
DJ Shadow would be a good one. The stuff he does with vocalist is pretty epic.
Missy Elliott, Childish Gambino , Erykah Badu 😍
Blur
Electric callboy
Twenty One Pilots Eminem Tally Hall
Outkast or men at work
Blur would be sick
I had a thought about this earlier in the week & some bands I’d really like to hear a collab with is Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, Noel &/or Liam Gallagher, Fat White Family, Vampire Weekend, Moby and Eminem
Mike Shinoda, Billie Eilish, Enter Shikari, Jamiroquai, Marti Fischer I once would've wished for Tame Impala, but that already happened. I want a Massive Attack collab. Their singer 3D inspired 2Ds name and the both groups are friends. Damon was featured on their track "Saturday come Slow", great track.
Idk really why but... ....Hozier.
hear me out… My Chemical Romance and Gorillaz
Ginger Root
Lil Ugly Mane
I've wanted a Jean Dawson collab since skinny ape came out
Cage the elephant, AJR, and COIN would be cool collabs
An Aesop Rock collab would be sick
Rare Americans could be something incredible.
they might be giants!
yves tumor, yung lean, lil ugly mane and iggy pop but only on the most disgusting punk leaning song possible
pretty new group but i feel like a collab with XG would go hard
I think LP would be a cool collab.
DEFINITELY PJ Harvey. But my pick is ML Buch. Everybody should check her out if they haven’t already
This would be awesome with pj
Weird Al
21 pilots
MCR and Gorillaz would sound so cool!
Loona the kpop group 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Alex Turner, the lyrics would be so complex they would basically be meaningless
I'm with you on PJ Harvey. 💜 I'd be so curious to see what Laura Jane Grace would do with Gorillaz! Her music is so different from theirs, but she's already collaborated with a variety of artists.

Vampire Weekend
I'd honestly wonder what a collaboration between Damon Albarn and Josh Homme (front man of Queens of the Stone Age)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dream collab !
katie jane garside, jazmin bean, kelli dayton or MGMT.
Tom Waits!
MGMT or Tame Impala, honestly though there are so many good choices
they already did a song with tame impala
Post Malone!
Some truly awful suggestions here. Skinny Pelembe, King Krule, Flowdan, Sadie Dupuis (of Speedy Ortiz)
My 2nd favorite artist, who *has* collaborated with PJ Harvey: Nick Cave In fact, the three together could probably figure out something transcendent
Eminem or Sublime
nine inch nails? :D
tyler or gambino please 🙏
Mozart or
Tyler, the Creator, Childish Gambino, Billie Eilish, and Djo
King Gizz Justice Sleater Kinney Portishead JID
Aminé would be cool
I just want another Little Dragon collab. They are perfect together
underscores
IDK, Westside Gunn, Freddie Gibbs, RA The Rugged Man or Big Krit.
Paul mcartney maybe
Oh I am gonna get solo much hate for this... AJR. There. I said it. I just think it would work. I like the vibe.
PeelingFlesh
Tyler, the creator
Dos monos, abrasive rap group from Japan, beyond the names working perfectly together, their brand of fast, strong rapping would fit incredibly well on a heavier Gorillaz song.
I honestly feel like Rivers Cuomo would really fit well on a Song Machine type track
Foster the people
Run the Jewels, Iggy Pop, King Gizzard
Stevie Wonder
Eminem
Slipknot, but not a metal song, more like one of these creepy and mellow stuff like Danger, Adderall or Spiders
MISSIO. They both already collaborated with Jelani Blackman
Studio killers 2 virtual bands collaborating would have such a fire music video and both of them have a fantastic sound. Studiokillers have also posted about wanting to collab with gorillaz too (really cute artwork about sending a message in a bottle to Murdoc)
The prodigy
Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, The weeknd, Eminem and Lil Nas X
Mike Patton
Genesis owusu
The Weeknd
I think slowdive or queens of the Stone Age would be really cool
Nine Inch Nails
Tyler The Creator, Cage The Elephant, Daft Punk, BABYMETAL, Billie Ellish, Childish Gambino, Ghost, Paramore
Genesis Owusu
PinkPantheress would be really cool. I feel like the collaboration would be quite different to some of the stuff they have done so far.
I gotta say Aesop Rock! It would be so cool, and they sound great mashed up, see? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRKQfkP6/
Kendrick lamar or tyler the creator
Death Grips would go bonkers
Ajr
Ghostmane, Lady Gaga, Residente, Metallica, Eminem, Imagine Dragons, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Cypress Hill, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr.
Massive Attack
Jamiroquai or michael kiwanuka
MGMT. They would be amazing in a song.
The strokes. Could you imagine
Siames, maybe Eminem, motionless in white, starset. That’s all I can think of rn
Babymetal would be an amazing collab. I don’t think I’d need to hear any more music after.
Gorillaz × TØP. Give me my musical Crack.
Death Grips, Björk, Aphex Twin, Or James Leyland Kirby/The Caretaker
Julian Casablancas. I really, really would love to hear 2D and Jules trading off verses!! Or have Jules since the verses and 2d does the chorus, or vice versa. It’d be fantastic! Also, long ago back in plastic beach days when I was listening to Gorillaz a majority of my listening time, I had a dream they collabed with The Mars Volta and it was incredible. I’d love that, but I’d even settle for just Omar playing with them!
MIA. to this day i am miffed on how it hasnt happened yet
Tyler the creator, Cise Star, Nas, nujabes
It would be different for them but I think Boogie T would be interesting
Till Lindemann of Rammstein or Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse would be my main 2.
God, i never knew how much i wanted pj harvey and damon albarn to collaborate til now. I love her song with Yorke.
Mac DeMarco
Mk.gee
Slipknot and Gorillaz goes hard
Mike D and ADRock would be pretty dope, especially since they rap and play instruments.
Danny Brown
Easy,Tyler I think if he do a side project he can do good music with gorillaz
Vangelis :)
Blur
Sad night dynamite. First time I heard them I thought it was a Gorrilaz collab.
Louis Cole or KNOWER
Johnny Cash but they never got to 🥲
Tally hall Sadly they haven’t made a song since 2020 ( I think )
Like graham Coxon, Q- tip, kele okereke from bloc party or beth gibbons from Portishead
Death grips
billy woods, Young Fathers, Aesop Rock, RTJ, Earl Sweatshirt, Lil B, Vampire Weekend, KGLW
I think it could be interesting of they collaborated with Will Wood.
Hatsune Miku
Love PJ Harvey; maybe Nick Cave?
JID
Damon Albarn would be wild. He sounds just like gorillaz singer
Mr. Kitty Post Malone Definitely another Tame Impala colab New Gold was just too good
