Massive Attack have new music on the way in 2026, but it won’t be available on Spotify. “From next year, we will release a cache of work created in the recent past,” the group wrote on Instagram. “Tracks will be available physically and digitally via a new label, with a Spotify exception.”
Along with many other artists, Massive Attack pulled their music from the DSP earlier this year in protest of CEO Daniel Ek’s ties to the military tech company Helsing.
There was no further elaboration in reference to a new label; Massive Attack recorded for Virgin from their 1991 debut, Blue Lines, through their most recent studio album, 2010’s Heligoland, but their only new music since then was a self-released 2020 EP, Eutopia, which is not available on streaming services.
Beyond fresh tunes, Massive Attack will wind down their 2025 roadwork tonight (Nov. 13) in São Paulo in conjunction with the COP30 International Climate Change Summit in nearby Belém. The group has long been at the forefront of advocating for reducing carbon emissions related to the live music industry.
Massive Attack will also perform next summer at the Primavera festivals in Barcelona and Porto. Last October, the group scrapped their planned first U.S. tour since 2019 less than a week in advance due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
