The groundbreaking Bristol group is currently working to break the music industry’s long-standing stance against climate change.
As this weekend’s mini-festival marks Massive Attack’s first performance in their hometown in five years, the band hopes its fans won’t find anything out of the ordinary.
According to band member Robert Del Naja, “if everything goes as planned, it will just feel like a normal gig to most people.”
Nobody is going to notice the difference. They will arrive at the event, enjoy the fantastic music and visual display, leave in the rain, and feel content.”

But fans may notice some differences from previous performances.
Everything on the menu is vegan. Every restroom will be biodegradable. If one is particularly perceptive, one may notice that rather than using diesel generators to power the stage and vendors, there are electric vans with big batteries that periodically recharge other enormous batteries throughout the venue.
It’s possible that outside of the performance will be where the biggest differences occur. There’s no parking lot.
The 34,000 guests are urged to walk, cycle, or use public transportation instead, including one of five special trains scheduled to return travelers across the southwest on Sunday night after the bank holiday ends.
According to Massive Attack, the one-day event will be the lowest-carbon concert of its kind to be held.
