Doubt that Massive Attack will ever come back to Mad Cool given what happened in 2018.

Massive attack are announcing for Mallorca Fest tomorrow. So much wrong with this poster.

 

And the fact that 'the loop' isn't mentioned

If this is it then I'm not impressed.

I have never seen a more fake poster in my life.

They didn't play because of sound bleeding issues.

The main surprise from that article for me is Glass Animals being mentioned in an article from 2018. Genuinely thought they didn’t become well known until 2-3 years ago when Heat Waves went massive

Anyone know if the line up is going to be announced today ?

Edit: it's been debunked. JT has exclusive Spanish date elsewhere 

Think I heard it's on the Plaza de Espana in Seville? Which caught me a little by surprise given I went there and didn't realise it was a venue for gigs, although watching YouTube of Green Day and Take That playing it proved me wrong.

I was there and I definitely recall being on a train back from IFEMA to the city centre after the festival full of these Scottish blokes who'd been waiting for Massive Attack only for them to never turn up going "f**k Massive Attack bunch of w*nkers and posh c**ts" for pretty much the whole train ride.

 

Take it they weren't impressed by saying the sound bleed issue from Franz Ferdinand was too much. Not that I was there for it given I had been at Franz and was amused by Alex Kapranos instigating an invasion of the VIP block out front.

 

So it's also there, I went in to that stage for Goat Girl and there was a little sound crossover but not the worst I've ever heard.

That Franz Ferdinand gig was great. Almost broke my neck trying to jump the VIP barrier after several jugs of Mahou

Calling Massive Attack is posh is amusing, given they came from the streets and have dedicated their career to being anti-institutional activists.

If we don't get anything today, I reckon we'll not het anything until Januari...

Massive Attack embody the term liberal elite... Great band whose political leanings I tend to agree with, but they're definitely not "street" Hahaha

You clearly don't know what that term means.
 

Remind me what Daddy G and 3D do in their personal lives that earns them this label? Oh that's right you can't...

Not feeling hopeful for news today now. And if it’s not this week then it won’t be until after the holidays …
