JAKARTA - Massive Attack dares to say no to the invitation as a performer at Coachella 2025. They firmly took this stance for noble reasons.

The rejection of the British trip-hop duo came from environmental factors. For about four decades of music, Robert 3D Del Naja and Grant 'Daddy G' Marshall were consistent in various movements to raise climate and environmental issues.

They are trying to bring change to the music industry to make it more friendly and not damage nature. As they show in Act 1.5 series in several cities, they emphasize the importance of sustainability factors and reduce carbon numbers as much as possible in music performances.

"We reject Coachella next year because once again, we've been there once, and once alone that's enough," Del Naja quoted Billboard as saying, December 18.

"(The event) is located in Palm Springs. It is a golf resort built in the desert, operated with a sprinkler system, using public water supplies. Crazy. If you want to see something that is the most ridiculous human behavior, the place is there," he added.

As for the first and last action of Massive Attack at Coachella, it occurred in 2006. Knowing the environmental impact caused by its implementation, the band agreed that it would no longer accept gig offers at Coachella.
