Gorillaz Bring The Mountain Tour to Fort Worth
Created in London in 1998 by Blur frontman Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz turned a fictional, animated band into one of the most inventive projects in modern music — blending alternative rock, hip-hop, electronic, and pop into a sound that is unmistakably their own. The Mountain Tour brings that world to Dickies Arena on Friday, October 16, 2026, landing as one of the marquee North Texas stops of the fall arena season.
Gorillaz shows are as much a visual event as a concert — the virtual band's characters, animation, and a rotating cast of collaborators come together in a genuinely cinematic live production. This is not a small club show — this is a full Dickies Arena production: roughly 14,000 seats, the second-largest continuous 360-degree video screen in North America, and one of alternative music's most ambitious live acts.
An animated band with real production muscle. Fronted by the virtual characters 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs — and driven by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett behind the scenes — Gorillaz pair a deep catalog with a big audio-visual show. Dickies Arena's 360-degree screen setup is purpose-built for this kind of production.

Is this an all-ages show at Dickies Arena?
Age policy varies for this show. Some arena concerts set an age minimum or require younger guests to be accompanied by an adult, while others admit all ages with a ticket.

Why Friday Night at Dickies Arena Needs a Plan
Is parking available at Dickies Arena on a Friday night?
Dickies Arena's general lot and Montgomery Lot are available for this Friday evening show. A 14,000-capacity arena on a Friday means significant Montgomery Street congestion at showtime and a packed parking exit after 10:30 PM when the crowd leaves simultaneously — on top of the usual Friday-night traffic across the Cultural District. The $25–$40 parking cost remains regardless of the day of the week.
What's the unique challenge of a Friday night concert for DFW fans?
Friday evening presents a specific logistics challenge: getting off work, grabbing dinner, and reaching a 7:30 PM arena show in Fort Worth — with parking, security, and seats covered — all before the lights go down. For groups coming from Dallas, Frisco, Arlington, Southlake, or Rockwall, that drive during Friday rush hour requires leaving early enough to make it work.
| Factor | Drive Yourself | QTS Black Car |
|---|---|---|
| Friday Rush Hour | Navigate I-30 at 5–7 PM alone | Chauffeur routes around congestion |
| Parking Cost | $25–$40+ at Dickies lots | Included — zero extra cost |
| Groups of Friends | Multiple cars, split-up arrivals | Relaxed, all in one vehicle |
| A Few Drinks at the Show | Someone has to stay sober to drive | Everyone enjoys the night, safely |
| Post-Show Exit (10:30 PM) | Parking lot backup, long crawl out | Driver staged, straight to car |
| Drop-Off Location | Walk from lot to entrance | Montgomery St. front door |
