If Ace met Gorillaz during Townsvile Music Fest, it would be a retcon if that was explicitly stated or pointed out somehow later on, but the time and place they met up hasn't been confirmed yet, just that he and Murdoc 'go way back'. Murdoc didn't state when, where, or how he met Ace, but Noodle is the one saying these things about her own backstory in her own words, so pretty much a definite part of the story. I don't consider that the same thing, myself. If Murdoc says "I met him a long time ago when we played the last date at our first tour in The Townsville Music Festival and we just hit it off and the rest is history." after Ace joined, that'd be a retcon for the way they met.

However, I agree that's probably how they met, I just think it'd be better for it to be mentioned in a more subjective way. If The Townsville Music Festival and Murdoc meeting Ace were to be mentioned as connected, it'd be more appropriate for it be described in a way that points out it's a likely scenario (a highly likely one) but it wasn't confirmed officially 100% that was how they met, but it's highly likely. I don't disagree that it was a thing at all, I think that's how they met too, I just think that if something like that were mentioned in the wikia, it should probably be mentioned with a more subjective approach. That's all.
