Massive Attack must be massively tired. And have some massive Frequent Flyer miles. Currently in the throes of an epic world tour (which started in June), the Bristol group just announced a U.S. tour, their first in eight years. The trek includes an appearance at L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl, a three-night stint at New York's Roseland Ballroom, and headlining gigs at the V Festival in Toronto and Austin City Limits.
Sixty thousand festival-goers got a sampling of Massive Attack's current live show at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Fest in April. With a line-up featuring two drummers and vocals by Horace Andy and former Cocteau Twins' singer Elizabeth Fraser, Massive Attack played live renditions of "Angel", "Karmacoma", and "Safe From Harm", among other classics.

Those fecking bastards don't hit this side of the ocean until I'm back in school. I can't possibly go see them without being horribly irresponsible... I'd better start studying now...
(Note to Tom and Ed: Please tour North America between May and August when you eventually get around to doing so. Please. I haven't whined much lately. I'll be good. I'll buy beer and sandwiches this time.)

I've always wanted to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl...
hmmmmmmmmmm...
Definetly think you guys should check this one out. Spliff it up and get paranoid to the sounds of Mezzanine live... I don't think I'll be able to respect you if you don't go. :)

Never really been into this band, any good live?
the people who had witnessed them at coachella earlier this year, have said they were quite impressive
which leads to another question, will Elizabeth Fraser and Horace Andy be touring with them like the did at coachella earlier this year???
