Margate's Dreamland hosts Demon Dayz music festival featuring Gorillaz

An estimated 15,000 people are expected to converge on one of the county's biggest attractions today.

Margate's Dreamland will play host to one-day music festival Demon Dayz featuring Gorillaz.

It's the bands first official UK show since the Plastic Beach 2010 world tour.

They have teased fans with news they will be joined by former Britpop rival Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame and former Blur bandmate Graham Coxon.

The one-day extravaganza, which sold out quickly, is the band’s UK comeback, following on from a surprise live show at Printworks in London.

Singer Damon Albarn reportedly told the crowd that virtually all the artists who appear on the album would be appearing at Dreamland with them.

“They’ll be all here when we play Margate,” he said.

The festival will take place across three stages with a line-up arranged by band leaders Damon and Jamie Hewlett, headlined by Gorillaz.

The sell-out will have support from Vince Staples, De La Soul, Fufanu, Danny Brown, Little Simz, Kali Uchis, Popcaan and Kilo Kish.

Dreamland launched its newly-renovated outdoor space for the event.
