Massive Attack Return for First Show in Five Years, Play “Song to the Siren” with Elizabeth Fraser: Watch
The post Massive Attack Return for First Show in Five Years, Play “Song to the Siren” with Elizabeth Fraser: Watch appeared first on Consequence.
Massive Attack returned for their first show in five years on Wednesday night (June 5th) at Gothenburg Film Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden. To mark the occasion, they brought out longtime collaborators Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and reggae singer Horace Andy for several songs each.
With Fraser (who is married to drummer Damon Reece), the trip-hop group performed their signature hit “Teardrop,” as well as “Black Milk and “Group Four.” However, the most notable moment was when they played “Song to the Siren” for the first time together.

Originally recorded by Tim Buckley, the best-known version of “Song to the Siren” is This Mortal Coil’s 1983 cover featuring Fraser and Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie.
Besides Fraser and Andy, Massive Attack were joined by Young Fathers for “Voodoo in My Blood” and Deborah Miller for “Safe from Harm” and “Unfinished Sympathy.”
See the full setlist and fan-shot video below.
Wednesday’s show marked Massive Attack’s first concert since they performed a two-night stand at Madison Square Garden in 2019. It was also their first show since the passing of longtime guitarist Angelo Bruschini this past October.
Massive Attack will remain on the road all summer, with appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Electric Castle, and Rock en Seine. See the schedule below, and get tickets here.
