In August 2018, virtual band Gorillaz—created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, whose album The Now Now (2018), released a month earlier, marked a return to minimalist indie-pop after collaborative Humanz—headlined Sziget Festival, one of Europe's largest events founded in 1993 on Budapest's Óbuda Island as a platform for alternative music among 400,000 attendees. Their 90-minute main stage set, captured in high quality, embodied tour climax, where throbbing beats merged with guest vocals to spark euphoria under Hungarian sun. Part of a lineup with Arctic Monkeys and Kendrick Lamar, this performance highlighted Gorillaz's innovator role, turning the island into a portal of collective trance.
