This July, one of the original architects of trip hop is returning to Singapore after more than a decade. Landing on July 29, 2026, at The Star Theatre, the Bristol collective will perform with a full live band and a lineup of guest vocalists in tow.

The last time Massive Attack played in Singapore, founding members Robert "3D" Del Naja, Grant "Daddy G" Marshall took over the decks for a DJ set at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre during the 2011 Formula 1 Grand Prix on September 23.

Formed in Bristol in the late ’80s, Massive Attack – alongside early members like Tricky and Andrew Vowles – stitched together hip-hop rhythms, dub basslines, soul vocals and eerie samples into something entirely new: trip-hop. Founding members Del Naja and Marshall have remained the constant, continuing to shape the collective with a rotating cast of guest vocalists. 

The setlist is expected to lean heavy on the classics – think ‘Unfinished Sympathy’, ‘Teardrop’, ‘Safe From Harm’ and ‘Inertia Creeps’. These came out of albums like Blue Lines, Protection, and Mezzanine, records that quietly rewired what electronic music could sound like.

Tickets are priced at $118, $148, $198, and $248 (excluding booking fees), with general sales opening March 31 via Ticketmaster. Also, do note that there will be no entry for children under six.
