Massive Attack have canceled their entire run of 2024 US tour dates less than a week before the trek was set to begin, citing “unforeseen circumstances.”
On Friday (October 11th), the trip-hop legends posted the following statement on their Instagram Story: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Massive Attack must regrettably cancel their upcoming performance at III Points Festival in Miami, FL on October 19th, as well as their shows in Atlanta GA, Washington DC, Boston MA, and Forest Hills NY. We appreciate your understanding at the time.”
The UK group was about to embark on their first US performances in five years, with Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser, Horace Andy, and Young Fathers as special guests. The five-date trek was scheduled to kick off with the Atlanta date on October 17th.
For the time being, Massive Attack still have a one-off show on the books at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on November 29th (get tickets here) as part of their ongoing effort to reduce carbon emissions in the live music industry.
