Gorillaz at United Center, by Josh Darr

On the heels of news that Gorillaz will release a new album early next year, the Damon Albarn-led band hit the stage Monday night at the United Center in Chicago.

It was a mammoth, vibrant show from Albarn and the self-described "musical misfits." The album, titled Cracker Island, is out Feb. 23 on Parlophone, and it features an incredible roster of guest appearances from the likes of Stevie Nicks, Thundercat, Tame Impala, Bad Bunny, Bootie Brown and Beck.

Next up, they perform in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and a number of other cities.
