Pusha T Makes Surprise Appearance at Gorillaz's Madison Square Garden Show

Gorillaz pulled a surprise guest at their Madison Square Garden stop in New York on their current North American tour: Pusha T came out to perform "Let Me Out" with the band. According to Stereogum, the collaboration wasn't announced ahead of time — it was a one-off addition specific to that night's show.

Who else is on this tour

Damon Albarn and Gorillaz are currently playing arenas across North America, with Little Simz and Deltron 3030 as support acts. Beyond their own opening sets, both acts also join Gorillaz's main set — Little Simz and Deltron 3030's Del The Funky Homosapien are regular fixtures within the show itself.

Longtime Gorillaz collaborators are also recurring guests during the main set, including Posdnuos of De La Soul and Bootie Brown of The Pharcyde. Gorillaz's records have always leaned on a rotating cast of guest vocalists, and the live show follows the same structure, with different guests taking over different sections of the set.

Surprise guests are part of the pattern

Beyond the touring lineup, Gorillaz shows have a habit of bringing out unannounced surprise guests, and Pusha T's MSG appearance fits that pattern. Stereogum notes that this means the show's guest lineup can vary from night to night.

What we don't know

The source doesn't specify the date of the Madison Square Garden show, other tour dates, ticketing details, or whether Pusha T is expected to appear at any other stops on the tour.
