The band say their home town show in Bristol this weekend will be the lowest-carbon gig of its scale ever performed.

All the food will be vegan. All the loos will be compostable. If they’re really observant, people might spot (electric) vans containing large batteries occasionally recharging other large batteries around the site, instead of having diesel generators to power the stage and stalls.

Perhaps the biggest difference will not be in the show but outside. There’s no car park.

Instead, the 34,000 attendees are strongly encouraged to walk, cycle or get public transport - including on one of five special trains laid on to take people back across the south-west at the end of the bank holiday Sunday night.

      I thought exactly the same thing. I love Massive Attack but maybe they need a new name like Moderate Perturbation or something.

          something like “massive attack set to release new album” would be fine IMO. “Massive attack in Bristol:” is downright irresponsible.

      Seriously. Love these guys so much. One of those times a band from childhood turns out to actually be more awesome than you thought

    That’s awesome!! I’m sure they may run into challenges with the infrastructure and logistics stuff, but if we don’t start figuring out the challenges this can’t become common
