In June 2010, during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival, Gorillaz were riding high on the success of their album "Plastic Beach," which had been released earlier that year in March. The album marked a significant evolution in their sound and featured collaborations with various artists, including Snoop Dogg, who joined them for the live rendition of "Clint Eastwood." This performance showcased the band's unique blend of virtual and real-world elements, highlighting their innovative approach to music and visuals. Gorillaz’s appearance at Glastonbury also coincided with a resurgence of interest in live performances for the band, who had been experimenting with new formats and multimedia experiences ever since their inception. Their Glastonbury performance is remembered for its dynamic energy and for featuring animated characters alongside live musicians, further cementing their status as pioneers in the alternative music scene.
