Saturday night in Seattle went to a whole ‘nother galaxy 🪐
Deltron 3030 opened the show and performed a new song, “Centuries,” with Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, stating that there would be a new Deltron 3030 record next year. (The most recent album from Del the Funky Homosapien, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala was 2013’s Event 2.)
Then, in the main event, Gorillaz brought the house down, and - as you can see here in “November Has Come” - The Roots’ Black Thought performed while dressed up as MF DOOM, who passed away exactly six years ago to the day. 🙏
Let us know if you were there.

We're still processing last night's @gorillaz show at @climatepledgearena in Seattle. With it being Halloween and the last date of the North American tour, this was a special one.
Dressed as Martin Sheen's character of Benjamin Willard from Apocalypse Now, Damon Albarn was backed by a large ensemble decked out in equally-impressive costumes. Paying tribute to MF DOOM for Doomsday, Black Thought (@blackthought) took the stage donning the trademark mask of the late supervillain MC/producer, complete with New York Knicks Jersey.
Here's a clip from Black Thought during the song "The Empty Dream Machine" from the latest Gorillaz LP, The Mountain, released earlier this year. The Roots lyricist would return to fill in for DOOM on the track, "November Has Come" and later to rap on another Mountain track, "The Sad God."

@theroots remain one of hip-hop's most groundbreaking acts. 💥
With 'Endgame,' the collective’s first studio album in more than a decade, co-founders Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter are still chasing the feeling that captivated them as teenagers.
"We’re still very much fans of the game, and the curiosity is still there," Trotter tells Billboard. "We’ve had so many 'We’ve arrived' moments that it’s so hard to count. Everything feels like a new beginning."

London!
You showed up, showed out and showed massive love. This was a coming home of sorts. The place where our careers took off, now the launch pad for another international expansion. We appreciate you, truly.
