First comes the festival announcement, then comes the tour.
A little more than a month after being revealed as a surprise headliner at Miami’s III Points Festival, Massive Attack has shared they’re taking off on a brief North American trek this October.
New York fans are in luck, too.
The visually adventurous trip-hop pioneers are slated to drop into Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium on Thursday, Oct. 24.
According to Brooklyn Vegan, their five shows in the U.S. — including the festival date — will be their first since the 2019 ‘Mezzanine XXI Tour,’ which concluded at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall.
On this run, 3D, Tricky and Daddy G promise “the most transgressive leap in the collaboration between 3D x United Visual Artists since 2003” on Instagram.
“By reverse engineering algorithms to expose content anomalies & 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.”
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Massive Attack shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, July 19.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
