In terms of the defining records of the ’90s, Massive Attack’s wonderful third album, Mezzanine, will always make the grade as tracks like Angel, Teardrop, and Inertia Creeps are absolutely jaw-dropping.
Well, we’re delighted to say that the trip hop icons will be performing their beloved album in its entirety when they play the 3Arena on 24 February next year.

Speaking about the new tour, Robert Del Naja said: “It’s going to be a one off piece of work; our own personalised nostalgia nightmare head trip.”
