Damon Albarn has announced that he'll do a solo show at the Barbican on 5 Jul, and will perform his 'Mali Music' album for the first time in a while. Speaking about the album, he told NME: "I haven't touched it for, like, six years. We had to go into the Sahara and find people. They live in the remote places, but it's amazing how easy it is to find people if you've got the right people looking!"
Albarn is also planning similar gigs in Lyon and New York City next month.
