Portishead, British masters of sexy desolation, have not played a live show since they rocked Spain’s Benicàssim Festival back in 2015. (Portishead haven’t released any music in longer than that, but that’s a whole other story.) Next month, though, the group will return to the stage for a small benefit show in their Bristol hometown. Perversely enough, Portishead aren’t even headlining that show. IDLES will top the bill for the show, which is raising money for War Child’s efforts in Ukraine.

Reuters - Throughout the '90s, "trip-hop" was the best anyone could do to describe Massive Attack and the head-nodding family of talents it inspired, like Portishead and Tricky.

Portishead's Third was so much better than you'd expect from a reunion record. In fact, as we mentioned when writing up "The Rip," it's amazing. Such darkness, intensity, beauty, etc. The one-time long dormant Bristol band have clearly found some sort of rhythm, signing to Amnesty International and already releasing a new track "Chase The Tear"...
