Formed in 1988 in Bristol, England, and comprising Robert “3D” Del Naja, Grant “Daddy G” Marshall, Adrian “Tricky” Thaws and Andrew “Mushroom” Vowles, Massive Attack blew audiences away with their debut album Blue Lines.

Considered pioneers of the trip hop genre, Massive Attack followed up with Protection in 1994 before scoring their first UK and Australian #1 Album with Mezzanine, which also featured the hit single ‘Teardrop’.

The group released two more albums, 100th Window (2003) and Heligoland (2010), sold over 13 million records worldwide and even won a BRIT Award in 1994 for Best British Dance Act.

Their Australian return is a long time coming, and one that fans won’t want to miss.
