Gorillaz Lima 2026: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Lima)

One night on the Costa Verde

Gorillaz play Lima on November 23, 2026. The venue is Arena 1 Costa Verde in San Miguel, an outdoor concert ground on the strip of land between the Pacific and Lima’s cliffs. The show is reported as sold out.

Gorillaz are the virtual band Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett created in 1998. On record the band is four cartoon members: 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle and Russel Hobbs. On stage it is Albarn and a large live band, with Hewlett’s animation filling the screens behind them. The songs most people know are “Clint Eastwood”, “Feel Good Inc.”, “DARE” and “On Melancholy Hill”.

The ground by the sea

Arena 1 Costa Verde is open-air. You stand on flat coastal ground with the cliffs of San Miguel and Magdalena rising behind it. The Circuito de Playas, the coastal highway along the Costa Verde, runs right beside the venue, so the shoreline is never far off.

November is late spring in Lima. Afternoons are mild, but the sea breeze makes evenings on the Costa Verde noticeably cooler than the inland districts. Most concertgoers bring a light jacket or hoodie for the walk out after the encore. Rain is very rare on Lima’s coast, and grey coastal cloud is far more likely than a downpour.

Getting to San Miguel and back

There is no rail line on the Costa Verde, so almost everyone arrives by road. The usual options:

• Ride-hailing apps: Uber, Cabify and InDrive all operate across Lima and are what most concertgoers use.
• Taxi: fares are agreed before you get in unless you use an app.
• Walking down from the clifftop: stairways and ramps connect the San Miguel and Magdalena malecones to the coast road, but they are steep.

The Circuito de Playas jams after big shows because every car leaves along the same coastal corridor. Many fans walk a few minutes away from the gates before requesting a car, or wait out the first surge. Visitors from abroad usually stay in Miraflores, San Isidro or Barranco, each a short drive south along the coast.

Doing a Lima stadium show properly

The local rhythm here is easy to pick up:

• Paying: Peru uses the sol. Cards work widely in Lima, and locals pay each other by phone with Yape and Plin, which visitors without a Peruvian bank account generally cannot use. Vendors around big events often prefer small notes.
• Tickets: at a sold-out show, resale offers on social media are the classic source of fake or duplicated tickets. Peruvian fans mostly stick to the official ticketing channel and its own transfer system.
• Eating: concertgoers often have ceviche or a sanguchería sandwich in Miraflores or San Miguel beforehand. Cevicherías usually serve lunch rather than dinner, so ceviche tends to be a midday meal.
• Language: a little Spanish helps with drivers. “Arena 1, Costa Verde, San Miguel” is all you need for the destination.
