British band Massive Attack will tour Australia for the first time in 16 years, but this time Perth is not on their itinerary.
The band, led by Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall, will play shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this August 2026. Frontier Members presale opens Thursday, June 4 at 2 p.m. local time, with general on sale from Friday, June 5 at 3 p.m. local time via frontiertouring.com/massiveattack.
The band recently released a new track, Boot on the Ground, which sees them teaming up with Tom Waits. Fans are hopeful the new track and tour announcement signal that more new music may be coming from the collective in the near future.
