Gorillaz have confirmed that Lou Reed will join them one more time on the Escape To Plastic Beach tour, appearing with Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett and crew October 27 at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles. This the second time Reed will join Gorillaz on the tour, the first being October 8 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Miho Hatori will be the second special guest from the Madison Square Garden extravaganza to reappear at the Los Angeles show.

The two additional special guests at the L.A. date will appear along with De La Soul, Little Dragon, Bobby Womack and other touring guests of the Gorillaz Plastic Beach band which features Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of the Clash. The Los Angeles crowd can expect Reed reprise his lead vocal turn on “Some Kind Of Nature” from Gorillaz’ current Plastic Beach, and Hatori to guest on “19-2000” from Gorillaz’ classic self-titled debut.

Other special guest appearances on the Escape To Plastic Beach tour have included Mos Def’s performances at the Garden, as well as October 10 at Camden NJ’s Susquehanna Bank Center and October 11 at the Patriot Center in Washington DC. Other regular guests of the Gorillaz Plastic Beach band include Bootie Brown, the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Bashy, Kano and Roses Gabor.

Only six dates remain before the North American leg of the Gorillaz tour wraps November 3 in Vancouver and heads overseas for a series of ten shows across Europe and the UK, as well as, seven shows across Australia and Asia.

N.E.R.D. will support on the remaining dates, as they have on all North American dates except the Montreal opener.
