Kings Park and Botanic Garden,

Massive Attack formed out of Bristol’s legendary DJ collective The Wild Bunch in 1988, releasing their debut single 'Daydreaming' two years later, with Shara Nelson and Tricky on vocals. The soaring 'Unfinished Sympathy' with its iconic one-take video followed, as did 'Safe From Harm', again featuring Nelson, all lifted from their enduring classic and critically acclaimed debut album, Blue Lines.

The chilled out Protection followed in ‘94, with singles 'Karmacoma', 'Sly' and the title track featuring Everything But The Girl’s Tracey Thorn, the album winning Massive Attack the Brit Award for Best Dance Act.

The group’s darker third album Mezzanine, featuring 'Teardrop' - vocals by Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins) - and Inertia Creeps, won the Q Award for Best Album and a nomination for Mercury Music Prize.

In 2008 Massive Attack were awarded the Q Award for Innovation and last year were honoured with the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

Supporting Massive Attack on tour, as well as appearing on stage with them, is Martina Topley-Bird. Martina came to the fore providing the feminine touch on Tricky’s landmark album Maxinquaye, plus three follow-up albums, her eerie soft vocals contrasting with Tricky’s menacing mutterings.

In 2003 Martina released her Mercury Music Prize nominated, solo debut album Quixotic, with guest appearances from David Holmes, Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan, Mojo describing it "a sensual and endlessly inventive record." The Blue God is Martina’s latest album release. She also features on lead vocals on two new Massive Attack tracks, 'Babe'l and 'Psyche'.
