Tricky came out of Bristol's early-90s underground, helped shape Massive Attack's first records, then made Maxinquaye, still one of the defining trip-hop albums. His shows lean into dark production and hushed, intimate vocals, a mood that suits a converted steel warehouse. If you grew up on that sound, this is a rare chance to see one of its architects in a mid-size room.
What to expect
Expect a large open warehouse floor with good sightlines, a moody, low-lit set and a crowd of longtime fans. The venue is standing-room, with bars along the sides.
