Massive Attack Curate Meltdown Fest

While we're still waiting for confirmed details on Massive Attack's long-delayed new disc, the trip-hop pioneers have a number of European tour dates lined up, running from a June 9 stop in Estonia to an August 15 date in Spain. The group will also present the Meltdown Festival at London's Southbank Centre June 13-22.

Massive Attack's performances will bookend the festival, with other sets coming from Gang of Four, Elbow, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, the Tom Tom Club, Flying Lotus, the Cool Kids, and many more. Peaches and Four Tet will also DJ.
