The show was scheduled for 12:00 a.m., but the timetable on SUMMER SONIC’s second stage was delayed by almost an hour, which caused the setback. In the end, the concert started at 1:00 a.m., one hour later than planned.

The club that night was at full capacity and Gorillaz played to 10,000, performing beforeThe Orb.

2D said: "Today we played Summer Sonic, The Osaka gig was good, hut the one in Tokyo was really mad\ It was in this huge hangar, like a giant hits depot. All these Tokyo kids were whacked out of their heads on Crystal Meth. f wouldn't do that stuff even if it was free. Well , not ij I've got to fly cos you get so dehydrated. Tonight we played like industrial light and magic on /max."
