Elsewhere, Massive Attack have recently shared details of their ‘Act 1.5’ show at Bristol Downs and its measures to reduce emissions.
Details of the homecoming gig were first shared in December, when the trip-hop collective confirmed that 2024 would see them perform at an all-day “large-scale climate action accelerator event” – celebrating 25 years of climate activism for the band.
The gig will take place on August 25 at Clifton Downs in Bristol, and will mark the first performance that Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja and Grant ‘Daddy G’ Marshall have played on UK soil in five years. The likes of Killer Mike, Lankum, Sam Morton and the Wild Bunch’s DJ Milo are also set to perform at the gig. Visit here to find any remaining tickets.
In other news, the group recently cancelled their gig in Georgia in a protest of the “government’s attack on basic human rights”.
