This just in: Massive Attack are planning a ...well, massive outdoor show in Ireland this April, featuring (we gleefully quote) "mad visual stuff" among other delights. A Hot Press exclusive

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 27 Jan 2003

hotpress.com can exclusively reveal that Massive Attack are lining-up an outdoor show in Dublin's Marlay Park during the summer.

Talking to us moments ago, Robert "3D" Del Naja said: "That's what's planned at the moment because we couldn't find a venue for April, which is when we're doing the UK tour. We've got some mad visual stuff planned, so it'll be a good day out."

Massive Attack's new album, 100th Window, is out on February 7 with a single, 'Special Cases', to follow later in the month. More importantly, there'll be an in-depth interview with young Mr. Del Naja in our February 14 issue.

I’d hate to be a Massive Attack roadie. Not only do they have four vocalists, six banks of synths, live guitars, drums and percussion to worry about, but there’s a huge ticker-taping video screen to put up and take down every bleedin’ night.

Another A-list act returning to the scene after a notable absence – three whole years, in the Bristol band’s case. Dare we hope that they’ve spent this time creating something as mesmerizing as ‘Teardrop’ or ‘Unfinished Symphony’? Sadly ‘Live With Me’ doesn’t quite make that league, even though it’s as laidback as they come, with vocal goodness from folk/jazz legend Terry Callier and a whole string section to boot. But no, my crystal ball has already seen the future and says this won’t go down in history as one of their finest moments. Although, it’s on their forthcoming best of album, so technically, I’m already wrong.

The soundtrack to Louis Leterrier’s movie Danny The Dog (a martial arts thriller starring Bob Hoskins, Morgan Freeman and Jet Li), this is more of an interesting side project than a real album. Think Passengers, only without any lyrics.

Every now and then you attend a gig that extends far beyond a live music event. Something clicks in the space between your ears and you feel you’ve been changed forever. For the several thousand in attendance, Massive Attack created one of those hyperbole-inducing, ultimately indescribable experiences.
