For one day only, animated stars Gorillaz are bringing their acclaimed Song Machine Live From Kong to the big screen. Via Trafalgar Releasing, the cinema edition will feature hitherto unseen footage and commentary from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.

Recorded at their London-based Kong Studios HQ, Song Machine was filmed and recorded as a livestream then released as an album, with numerous big name features including Slowthai, Robert Smith, Skepta, and the late Tony Allen in one of his last features.

Made possible by Trafalgar Releasing and LiveNOW, it is only in cinemas for one day, the 8th of December, in screenings across the globe. Tickets go on sale on the 11th of November and can be bought here.
