Massive Attack to head *** festival using battery power

Massive Attack are set to headline London’s “first ever 100 per cent battery powered” day festival.

The Bristol trip hop duo – comprising Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja and Grant ‘Daddy G’ Marshall – will top the bill at the LIDO Festival at Victoria Park in London on June 6.

As part of their ACT 1.5 initiative to “rapidly decarbonise live music events”, and in partnership with clean energy provider Ecotricity, Massive Attack’s show will be completely battery powered.

“To present London’s first ever 100 per cent battery powered festival day with a dynamic range of artists is an optimum outcome for us,” Del Naja said.

“History shows it’s often the combination of art and science that overcomes the greatest challenges we face, so it’s good to see LIDO take learnings from our ACT1.5 event last year and apply those technologies to where they see emissions coming from. Clean productions beginning this journey to normalisation is good news for everyone, but especially for music fans that come to festivals and the local communities that live around them.”

Special guests will include Air, Yasiin Bey and The Alchemist as FORENSICS and Tirzah, with more names due to be added.

It will also mark Massive Attack’s first London festival show in almost a decade and feature their acclaimed production designed in collaboration with 3D, United Visual Artists and documentarist Adam Curtis.
