Massive Attack, the Bristol electronic group led by Robert '3D' Del Naja and Grant 'Daddy G' Marshall, have announced their first Australian headline shows since 2010. Three arena dates are set for August 2026: Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Aug. 6, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Aug. 9, and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Aug. 11. The tour is presented by Frontier Touring, with a Frontier Members presale starting June 4 and general on-sale June 5.
