The four-hour live programme will be replayed for 24-hours on each channel, with VOD highlights then becoming available.

With three stages and an eclectic line-up, the festival will be broadcast exclusively via Red Bull TV.
More than just another summer festival, Demon Dayz celebrates the welcome live return of Gorillaz, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs. A truly global phenomenon, Gorillaz have topped charts around the world and toured the globe from San Diego to Syria, picking up hundreds of millions of streams and record sales along the way. Gorillaz have achieved success in entirely ground-breaking ways, winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor and are recognised by The Guinness Book of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.
New album Humanz was released to widespread critical acclaim last month, reaching #1 and #2 in the U.S. and Irish album charts respectively, and topping the iTunes chart in 60 plus countries around the world.
