“Massive Attack’s arsenal has expanded and the resulting onslaught is nothing short of brilliant.” – Billboard Magazine
“Much of ‘Heligoland’ works like this – a dour, glitchy intro of impeccable atmospherics implacably winds its way into something panoramic and exhilarating.” – Los Angeles Times
“Heligoland still prizes the minimalism that always made Massive Attack seem so cool” – New York Daily News
Massive Attack have announced their first North American tour in four years, in support of their latest studio effort, Heligoland. The North American dates will kick off May 7th in Toronto, ON and will wrap a few weeks later at this year’s Sasquatch Festival in George, WA.
