They are enormously popular and have become synonymous with the music genre known as trip hop, often regarded as the parents of the musical sound.
Over the years they have become well known for songs such as “Angel” and “Teardrop” which, alongside their albums, have made them into a high-selling group. As one of the most beloved live acts working in the modern music scene, Massive Attack tickets can be in high demand, making early booking a recommended course of action.
Massive Attack consists of two DJs in the form of Grantley ‘Grant’ Marshall and Andrew ‘Andy’ Vowles. Together they are often referred to as Daddy G and Mushroom respectively and have enjoyed a successful music career since first emerging in 1991 with their debut album.
Massive Attack are often closely tied to the likes of Portishead and Tricky, two other acts who are highly regarded, with Portishead also blossoming with a unique electronic sound. Early in their career they worked as a production trio in 1988 alongside Carlton McCarthy and also formed part of the sound system known as The Wild Bunch. After forming Massive Attack they made their impression on the music scene with the release of 1991’s “Blue Lines”, which quickly earned them critical acclaim as they carefully selected perfect samples to fit in with their array of musical fusions.
Their second album took the form of 1994’s “Protection” and displayed a musical duo that liked to play around with their sound and offer fans a wide variety of song styles. This is a tradition that would continue with the release of all of their albums and they followed it up with “Mezzanine” in 1998 and “100th Window” in 2003. Over the years their sound grew in popularity and they developed a large and dedicated fan base. At the same time, since the release of “100th Window” they have continued to provide songs for film soundtracks and other projects; keeping their music in the public eye and maintaining their back catalogue of hits.
2010 sees them return with “Heligoland”, a highly anticipated release that will see them continue to push the boundaries of their capabilities and cement themselves as a musical force that goes unmatched. As their career continues they will carry on entertaining large crowds in auditoriums across the world and show other groups how it is done.
So if you wish to experience a concert like no other, look no further than Massive Attack tickets when they go on sale.
