Montreal a few days earlier.  Those are the only 2 North American dates announced right now, although they say it will be around 20 dates, so I would bet DC is included.

I call Patriot or Verizon  ;D

That would be one empty Verizon Center.

I wonder if it's the smaller stage connected to MSG??

See, that's what I don't get. The Gorillaz headlined Coachella and Glastonbury (albiet as a replacement to U2) but are they really that popular? I always figured them to be a band that would sell like 3,000 seats. I'm guessing I'm completely wrong.

The people who go to those festivals aren't the people who would shovel out the money to see them play at the Verizon Center, just the sheer amount wouldn't fill 1/2 of the place

As long as they keep ticket prices relatively cheap I think they'll do pretty well.  I remember seeing them at the Electric Factory in Philly when they were PLAYING BEHIND A SCREEN and it still was pretty cool multi-media experience.  "Plastic Beach" is a pretty acclaimed album…half of the Clash will be probably be playing…REALLY cool cartoons/visuals…and a pretty-wide fan base (I know a couple of hardcore hip-hop fans who like them) means the tour should do pretty well.  They're like Madonna, though.  A show like that only really works on a big stage.  "Feel Good, Inc." and "Clint Eastwood" were pretty big singles.  I'd think more people would go to see Gorillaz than, say, M.I.A.

I feel like you're overestimating the general public. Outside of Feel Good Inc. and possibly Clint Eastwood, I'd say most of the general public doesn't even know that the Gorillaz have released another album.

They did sell out 5 nights at Apollo the last time they were in NYC. It's currently scheduled for the arena at MSG. For some more perspective Ivete Sangalo is booked for September at MSG with Seu Jorge and Juanes being promoted as special guests.
I'm sure Mos Def, De La Soul, Bobby Womack and Lou Reed will show up. From the world tour poster on their site it looks like Damon, Paul Simonon, Mick Jones, Cass Browne, Mike Smith, Jesse Hackett, Jeff Wootton,  Kano?, and I can't tell who the female is… doesn't look like Yukimi Nagano and Martina Topley-Bird is out on tour with Massive Attack.

10/23, Ottobar, Baltimore

Wish Gorillaz would release those North American dates already…  :'(  lol

So yeah, Gorillaz are definitely hitting DC:

it is to stop people from spitting out their food from laughter that a., they paid $80 for this . . . and b., ian anderson is a total asshole for charging $80 for seeing a washed up tool blow a tool for a bunch of tools.
