Gorillaz in Lima is the band’s first Peru show in twenty-eight years. It is also gone, and has been since March.
Gorillaz in Lima is the rarest kind of concert listing. It is a first visit and a sold-out one at the same time.
The band plays Arena 1 Park on the Costa Verde on Monday 23 November 2026. It is their first Peru show since forming in 1998.
Tickets went on sale in early March through Ticketmaster Peru, with an Interbank presale ahead of the general release. RPP reported a complete sell-out on 14 March.
That is roughly two weeks from first sale to nothing left. For a debut market, it is unusually fast.
Why Gorillaz in Lima Took So Long
Gorillaz have toured Latin America repeatedly without ever routing through Peru. Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Colombia all came first.
The reason is mostly logistical. The band travels with a large ensemble, a full screen production and rotating guest vocalists.
Lima’s open-air sites have only recently been able to carry that scale. Arena 1 Park and Costa 21 have taken over from smaller venues.
Bogota got its own Gorillaz date this year too. The band is filling in the map rather than singling Peru out.
What The Mountain Tour Is
The Mountain is the band’s album released this year, and the tour carries its name. The live show mixes the new record with the catalogue.
Guest vocalists are the format’s signature. Which ones appear varies by city and is rarely announced in advance.
Damon Albarn fronts the band in person. The animated characters appear on screens rather than replacing the players.
If You Do Not Have a Ticket
There is no official waiting list. Ticketmaster Peru does not operate a verified resale platform for this show.
Resale in Peru is unregulated and refunds are rare. Buyers on social platforms have no recourse if a barcode has already been scanned.
Promoters occasionally release production holds close to the date. Watch Ticketmaster Peru directly rather than aggregator sites.
A second Lima date has not been announced. Nothing in the routing suggests one is coming.
Getting to Arena 1 Park
Arena 1 Park sits on the Costa Verde in San Miguel, below the cliffs. It is the same coastal strip that hosts Costa 21.
Access is along the shore road, which runs one way. Taxi apps often drop passengers at the cliff top instead of the gate.
Ask for the Costa Verde entrance rather than the venue pin. The walk down from Avenida La Marina takes about twenty minutes.
November evenings on the Lima coast are cool and damp. Bring a layer even if the afternoon was warm.
