Gorillaz transformed into a "Gorillaz orchestra" at the INmusic festival, offering the most elaborate performance of the event. With a large ensemble, they captivated a packed crowd in front of the main stage, blending their signature manga animations with live camera feeds displayed on video screens.

The band has shed its "virtual" image, emerging as a vibrant, multi-ethnic live attraction that fills stadiums. Their performance served as a re-envisioning of the rich influences that have shaped contemporary British pop culture.

Considered one of the festival's biggest draws alongside Jack White, Gorillaz's set was a highly anticipated treat. The performance was noted for its energy and the band's ability to engage the audience, solidifying their status as a major live act.

While other acts like The Flaming Lips offered a visually engaging show with their signature inflatable robots and stage props, Gorillaz's dynamic and multi-faceted performance stood out. Jehnny Beth also delivered an energetic set on a smaller stage, showcasing her post-punk roots and a powerful stage presence.
