The more than perfect alliance between music, visual and more...
First part: Young Fathers.
Wondrously energetic. Great voices. Best album of 2015 (to me at least). Powerful presence on stage.
Not a first act, an act in itself. What a present to the crowd!

Miss Martina Topley-Bird, one of the most beautiful voices born in Bristol, here singing 'Battle Box':
Into the light...

Martina is back for 'Psyche' and later some new tracks:
One of my favourite songs in Live events - 'Future Proof':

Massive Attack also plays new songs including: with Azekel 'Ritual Spirit', name of their coming new EP, 'Clock Forward' with Martina, and 'Voodoo in My Blood' with Young Fathers.
They also played famous hits 'Paradise Circus', 'Risingson', 'Teardrop', 'Angel', 'Inertia Creeps' and more recent tracks 'Dead Editors', as well as always-great-live 'United Snakes'.
They did play any song from Blue Lines, and only one from Protection: 'Karmacoma', in the Massive Attack versus Adam Curtis version, projecting extracts from the film on the screens in an hypnotic and in-your-face manner.
This shows a bold decision to move on and not stick to the too-expected classic hits from the past, in a renewed version of the where the band is now.
The show wouldn't be their show without the amazing visuals and messages created with United Visual Artists. This time, they also used powerful, meaningful and indispensable work from photographer Giles Duley, who worked all year long for the UNHCR, on the refugee crisis we witness the year, mainly due to the war in Syria and the raise of the Islamic State.
Main message: refugees should be welcome, while this crisis has been the worst worldwide one since World War II.
Here are some of the photographs:
