Demon Dayz Festival LA

The Demon Dayz Festival LA (also Demon Dayz Fest LA) was a music festival hosted by Gorillaz that took place on October 20th, 2018 in Pico Rivera, California. It was the second Demon Dayz Festival and the penultimate performance of The Now Now Tour.

Line-up
The Demon Dayz Festival LA featured a variety of performers, including Erykah Badu, The Internet, DRAM, Tony Allen, Little Simz, Kilo Kish, Ana Tijoux, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Los Cafeteras and Chulita Vinyl Club. The Festival grounds contained 3 separate stages to host these performers. Prior to the festival, Gorillaz released a special Spotify playlist composed songs by the featured artists so that fans could familiarize themselves with their music.

The Festival also hosted several other attractions, which included art exhibitions, a tea garden, a tattoo trailer, and a lucha libre stage. The decorations of the festival paid homage to Mexican culture, and at the entrance to the festival grounds attendees were greeted by a mariachi band, as well as large Día de los Muertos-themed sculptures of each band member.
