Massive Attack will be in the US this October for Miami's III Points festival and have announced a series of East Coast dates around it. These will be their first shows in the US since the Mezzanine XXI tour in 2019. The tour includes only four headline shows, all of which will be opened by their old Bristol Wild Bunch crew mate, DJ Milo.
Tickets for the shows in Atlanta, DC, Boston, and NYC can be purchased early through the BrooklynVegan presale, which runs on Thursday, July 18, from 10 AM to 10 PM Eastern. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 19, at 10 AM local time.
Known for their groundbreaking and thought-provoking visuals, Massive Attack describes the current tour as: “Our new live show marks the most transgressive leap in the collaboration between 3D x United Visual Artists since 2003. By reverse-engineering algorithms to expose content anomalies and recursive feedback loops, we seek to provoke a dialogue on the broken dream of the confident, empowered individual ‘self’ in the context of the global collapse of liberal democracies.”
There is no word yet on who will join the band on stage for the US shows. On their current European/UK tour, regular collaborators Horace Andy, Young Fathers, and Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser have joined them. Fraser has been performing her three songs from Mezzanine as well as Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren,” which she made famous with This Mortal Coil in 1983. Hopefully, Liz, Horace Andy, and Young Fathers will also be part of the US shows.
Massive Attack’s summer UK/EU tour concludes with a Climate Change benefit in their hometown of Bristol at Clifton Downs on August 25, featuring Killer Mike, Lankum, Sam Morton, and DJ Milo. All dates are listed below.
