Massive Attack Plans A Meltdown


Massive Attack, which now consists of original members Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall, will curate their very own Meltdown Festival in London this June. It’s a pretty rich line-up with lots of obvious touchstones like Grace Jones, George Clinton, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Adrian Sherwood, as well as modern acts like Leila and Elbow.
