Massive Attack To Return With Huge World Tour

Massive Attack vocalist and musician Robert “3D” Del Naja has revealed plans for a huge world tour to support the release of their long-anticipated fifth album out in October via Virgin/EMI.

The British electronic act has already confirmed more than 40 dates in the U.K. and Europe, beginning with three shows at London’s 5,000-capacity O2 Academy Brixton (Sept. 17-19). The U.K. shows are promoted by SJM.

Now Del Naja has confirmed the full extent of the tour to Billboard.com, which he says is likely to top 150 shows including U.S. dates.

“We’ll do the U.K., Europe, then take Christmas off, and then go to Asia, into America and then we’ll roll out to the festivals,” he says. “When you get on a roll it’s such a laugh. For Meltdown [Festival] last year we ended up doing about 40 shows all around eastern and southern Europe, it was really good fun. So I can imagine for this we’ll end up doing maybe 150 gigs.”
