Massive Attack return with first UK tour in five years, promise new music this year

Massive Attack are going on a mammoth UK and European tour in 2016, where they will play brand new music.

Released at the end of 2015, the tracks will most likely form a new album, their last LP being 2010’s Heligoland.

A presale for UK show tickets starts tomorrow (7 October) at 9am through their website, before the general sale at the same time on 9 October.
