Live music review: Massive Attack @ The Olympia, Dublin

Most bands would feel pressure from having a Mercury Prize-winning band on support duty. Yet come the end of the night, after an opening set from Edinburgh’s Young Fathers and their later collaboration with Massive Attack on new track ‘Voodoo Is In My Blood’, Robert Del Naja, the linchpin of the latter, declares that he’s seen the future — and it’s looking good.

If you weren’t in the Olympia sharpish enough on a muggy midweek evening, you might have missed the future. By 7.45pm Young Fathers are already a couple songs into their set. Theirs is a primal, angry aesthetic. ‘Get Up’ and ‘Rain or Shine’ are deserving of more dancing feet, though.
