Gorillaz to go on 'virtual' tour

The Gorillaz, a virtual hip-hop band created by Blur’s Damon Albarn and whose members are fronted by cartoon characters, will hit the road – or information superhighway, anyway – for a one-day online event on August 24.

The band will drop into 12 different destinations by way of www.habbohotel.com, an online virtual community for teens.
