Gorillaz’s latest album, Plastic Beach, has been getting plenty of spins at HT headquarters, so we’ve been waiting to see how the disc translates live. We’ll finally get our chance in October, when Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett bring the animated project Stateside as part of a lengthy tour.

While we’re still awaiting specific dates and venues for the North American shows, the band has confirmed that they will play 20 gigs on this side of the Atlantic starting at the Bell Centre in Montreal, QE on October 3 and including the group’s first-ever show at Madison Square Garden on October 8.

Here are details for those wanting to participate in a pre-sale…

Gorillaz fanclub, the Sub-Division, will benefit from a 48 hour pre-sale ahead of tickets going on general sale. To join Sub-Division go to www.gorillaz.com/subdivision

The U.S. and Canada dates, full details of which will be announced shortly, will be followed by a series of 10 shows across Europe and the UK, including a two-night stand at London’s O2 arena, as well as seven shows across Australia and Asia. [Press Release via Brooklyn Vegan]

We’ll update this post when Gorillaz reveal the full list of dates.
