All proceeds from Block by Blockwest will go to the Coronavirus Emergency Response Fund, a USA-based charity.
3D said he was “delighted to finally share a bill with Idles, and to expect Siberian punk covers and more”.
Massive Attack recently donated £10,000 to the Bristol Food Union, which sees staff from closed restaurants across the city cooking free food for frontline workers.
