As announced moments ago on Mary Anne Hobbes BBC Radio 2 show, the hallowed trip-hop collective are to perform as part of Liverpool’s three-night Climate Action event, alongside Idles and Nile Rodger.

The last time Massive Attack performed live in the United Kingdom was during their Act 1.5 Climate Action Accelerator event at Clifton Downs in Bristol, acting as part homecoming for the group and part activism as they continue their efforts towards climate change.

Their continued action on climate change is set to continue with the news that the group are one of three acts to perform in Liverpool in November 2024, in part to celebrate that the city is the world’s first  “Accelerator City” for climate action by the United Nations climate change program.
