The band’s remaining 2018 live dates were billed as The Now Now Tour to support the album, and included a performance in Tokyo on 22 June 2018 billed as “The Now Now World Premiere” in which the band played the full album live for the first and only time, a performance which was later broadcast by Boiler Room . On 16 December 2019, the documentary Gorillaz: Reject False Icons was screened worldwide on a one-day theatrical release. Filmed and directed by Hewlett’s son Denholm, the documentary showcases a behind-the-scenes look at the production of Humanz and The Now Now as well as the album’s associated tours. One week after the film’s theatrical release, a “Director’s Cut” version of the film featuring additional footage was released on the official Gorillaz YouTube channel in three parts. In the credits for Reject False Icons , Kabaka Jr was listed as an official member of the band (labelled as “A&R/Producer”) alongside Albarn and Hewlett for the first time.
