The long wait is over as Massive Attack are heading back to North America for their upcoming 2006 U.S. tour – the band’s first U.S. tour in eight years. Currently Massive Attack are in the midst of a summer World Tour, and will bring their spellbinding live show to the States and to such venues as the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, San Francisco’s Greek Theater and multiple nights at New York’s Roseland Ballroom. The band will also be headlining both the V Festival in Toronto and Austin City Limits Festival. A full tour itinerary is listed below.
Too bad they’re not playing anywhere near me as I would love to see them perform. Whoever is lucky enough to catch the Berkley show are in a treat as they’ll be playing with DJ Shadow. The group is currently working on their fifth studio album titled Weather Underground which is slated for an early 2007 release.
They also recently released a collection of “essential” tracks, unreleased material and a bunch of videos on the 2-disc set Collected on Virgin.

I’m one of the lucky bastards attending the Shadow/Attack gig. They should just do a collabo and give us all wet dreams.
