Massive Attack Triumphantly Returns to the United States

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Massive Attack triumphantly returned to the United States with three stellar shows in Houston, Austin, and Dallas, Texas over this past weekend. The full band, featuring vocalists Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and Horace Andy pleased thousands of fans that have anticipated their return for eight long years. On Saturday, September 16th, Massive Attack played to a crowd of over 50,000 mesmerized concertgoers headlining Austin City Limits. The show was the buzz of festival as the Austin American Statesman heralded, "Massive Attack was the definition of calm and collected class ... [and] brought its sonic landscape of ethereal trip-hop to ACL's AT&T Stage for a headlining slot that was nothing short of spectacular."
