One of the most influential figures in British music history, Daddy G - founding member of seminal Bristol act Massive Attack - is set to headline a special DJ set at Social, Humber Street, Hull, on Friday 15 May 2026.

At the centre of it all is Daddy G, one of the most influential figures in British music history. Grantley “Daddy G” Marshall helped shape the Bristol sound throughout the late ’80s and ’90s, blending trip hop, dub, reggae and electronic music. Massive Attack’s debut album Blue Lines remains a landmark release, often credited with defining the trip hop genre.

His appearance at Social offers East Yorkshire audiences a rare chance to experience a true pioneer in an intimate setting. Whether you’ve followed Massive Attack since the early days or you’re simply curious about a DJ whose influence runs deep through UK music, this is shaping up to be one of Hull’s standout DJ events of 2026.
