Massive Attack will be bringing their new concept show on the tour. The band elaborated on the concept in an official Instagram post on June 7, 2024:
"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."
Massive Attack's recent activites
Massive Attack released their latest EP, Eutopia, on July 12, 2020. The EP marked the band's latest foray at the time into audio-video projects. The project was a collaboration between Guy Standing, Gabriel Zucman, and Christiana Figueres.
In a commentary on socio-political issues, the EP featured the use of AI machine software and footage shot by Mark Donne. The band elaborated on the EP in a press statement to NME on July 10, 2024, stating:
"Lockdown exposed the best aspects and worst flaws of humanity. That period of uncertainty and anxiety forced us to meditate on the obvious need to change the damaging systems we live by."
The band continued:
"By working with three experts, we’ve created a sonic and visual dialogue around these global, structural issues; taking the form of climate emergency, tax haven extraction and Universal Basic Income."
The statement ended by elaborating on the EP's spirit:
"The spirit of this EP, its elements and ideas have nothing to do with naïve notions of an ideal, perfect world, and everything to do with the urgent & practical need to build something better. In this sense, Eutopia is the opposite of spelling mistake.'
Massive Attack is best known for their third studio album, Mezzanine, released on April 2, 1988. The album was a commercial and critical success, peaking as a chart-topper on Billboard 200 and being certified platinum multiple times.
