Massive Attack are a British trip hop group. Their name comes from an '80s warehouse party they were fond of going to. Founded in approximately 1988 by DJ's Grantley Marshall, Andrew Vowles and MC Robert Del Naja in Bristol, England, UK, they signed to Circa records in 1990, an imprint of Virgin records that would be later bought by EMI, to release 6 studio albums and a "Best Of". The trio were together prior to the formation of this band, as part of The Wild Bunch. With the release of their debut album Blue Lines in 1991, Massive Attack were critically acclaimed for their fusion of jazz, hip hop, rock, and soul elements into a style that journalists in the mid-nineties dubbed trip hop. Grantley Marshall has expressed intense dislike of the term 'trip-hop' and it is perhaps not as favoured and respected a term in the United Kingdom as it is in other parts of the world. With the release of later studio albums Protection in 1994, Mezzanine in 1998, and Robert Del Naja's effectively solo 100th Window in 2003, Massive's sound had a greater degree of post-punk guitar texture and soundtrack-like electronica integrated into it. Andrew Vowles reluctantly left Massive Attack in 1999. To all intents and purposes, Grantley Marshall temporarily left, in a studio capacity, between 2001-2004. The group also started a record label, Melankolic, in 1995, as an imprint of Virgin [EMI], that folded in 2001. Over the decades, the Bristol collective have collaborated with Madonna, David Bowie, Neneh Cherry, [1] Mos Def and [2] Sinéad O'Connor among many others. Horace Andy has featured on every one of their studio albums.

Phenominal sound & classics from M.A - but massively too politically charged messaging. Its not like we don't get bombarded enough by news (fake or truth) so NGL getting it at a gig is a step too far guys !! So its 8 on 10 from me
M&S Bank Arena Liverpool Liverpool, United KingdomIt was massive and typical for Massive Attack, they played a lot of the old stuff, it realy touched me. Its always fantastic to see those guys live also the warm up nand was amazing. A beautiful location and very well organized, thank you !
ZOA City Zürich, SwitzerlandGreat music by one of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. However, having to wait a whole hour without any sort of announcement or explanation was a bit much. Luckily, hearing Mezzanine performed live was worth the wait.
Bill Graham Civic Auditorium San Francisco, CAFOH sound mix was not very good, vocals got lost. The whole gig was a little bland and didn’t pack as much punch as previous Massive Attack gigs. Nice version of Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” though!
The O2 London, United KingdomGreat venue with fantastic sound. Massive Attack were brilliant as anticipated and it was great that Horace Andy and Liz Frazer were actually there on stage singing the hits. Enjoyed every minute of the gig.
