The Downs in Bristol to host first major concert in 15 years

Bristol’s The Downs will host its first major music event in more than 15 years when it welcomes Massive Attack on September 3. 

The outdoor show will mark the trip hop group’s first concert in their home city in over a decade. Primal Scream and Skepta will join them on the bill.

The event has been curated in partnership with Team Love, promoters of Love Saves the Day, and Crosstown Concerts.

Tom Paine, co-founder of Team Love, said: “We’ve been talking with the band now for many years now about trying to put a show of this scale on together – and it finally feels like the moment is right.”

Massive Attack’s 3D added: “We are curating what we hope will become an annual event something made in Bristol with an international reach. We will also use the project to engage with the important social and political issues of the day"
