Massive Attack band member 3D had this to say;
“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"

“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.”
