Massive Attack launched into their highly anticipated Australian tour last night (6 August), and they brought the goods.

The influential Bristol group took over the Brisbane Entertainment Centre to kick off the tour. On Sunday, 9 August, they’ll continue their run at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena (previously named Qudos Bank Arena) and conclude it at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday, 11 August.

For their first show of the tour, and their first Australian show in 16 years, Massive Attack’s leading members – Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall – were joined by a full touring band, including vocalists that appear on their albums, Elizabeth Fraser and Horace Andy, as well as singer Deborah Miller, who performs in the place of Shara Nelson.

If you don’t like spoilers before heading to a show, look away now as we’re about to dig into the first set of the tour.

The Brisbane leg of Massive Attack’s 2026 tour echoed previous sets on the band’s recent shows, which include plenty of classics, some deeper cuts, and a couple of special covers.

Fans can expect beloved tunes from the albums Mezzanine – Teardrop, Inertia Creeps, Risingson – and Blue Lines, like Safe From Harm and Unfinished Sympathy. Plus, they visit 2003’s 100th Window with Future Proof and 2010’s Heligoland with Girl I Love You.

Elsewhere, there are some covers, including In My Mind by Gigi D’Agostino, Levels by Avicii, and Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley, to name a few. Check out the full setlist below.

Tickets to Massive Attack’s Sydney and Melbourne shows have sold out. Supporting the band on their Australian tour is Gurnai/Kurnai and Yorta Yorta artist, DJ and producer, DJ PGZ.

DJ PGZ is one of the biggest names in Australia’s underground electronic music scene. He’s played at some of Victoria’s biggest festivals, including Meredith Music Festival and Pitch Music & Arts, runs his own Ecstatic Mob record label, and rose to public awareness after attending numerous techno parties and doofs, fostering a community in the underground scene.

He said of his addition to the shows, “I grew up hearing Massive Attack on rage and in record shops. Supporting them on their tour is a career highlight and an incredible moment for my younger self. I love the way they have taken a stance on social and environmental issues.”
