Further information on the festival is expected to be announced shortly.
The band began teasing the announcement of an album several days ago, when a website TheNowNow.tv, launched with a teaser video. They also unveiled music from the new album, performing the song “Hollywood” in Lollapalooza Chile, live in front a live audience for the first time after mentioning it on social media. Following the release of their latest 5th record Humanz, the most successful virtual band in the world announced that they will be releasing their sixth album, titled The Now Now, for a June 29, 2018 release. They most recently released the track “Humilty” featuring George Benson along with music video spotlighting Jack Black and the band’s animated frontman 2-D frolicking on Venice Beach.
