On 26 June 2011, Tricky appeared on stage during American singer [[Beyoncé]]'s historic [[Beyoncé 2011 Glastonbury performance|2011 Glastonbury Festival Performance]] on the pyramid stage for the track "[[Baby Boy (Beyoncé Knowles song)|Baby Boy]]". Partly the result of technical difficulties with his microphone, he later stated he was "mortified" by his own performance, saying, "I've never been so embarrassed. My body just froze".<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news/tricky-was-mortified-by-ill-fated-beyonce-duet_1323596 |title=Tricky &#124; Tricky Was Mortified By Ill-fated Beyonce Duet |magazine=Contactmusic.com |date= 30 April 2012|access-date=1 June 2013}}</ref>

In April 2012, Tricky performed ''Maxinquaye'' with Martina Topley-Bird at several concerts around the UK including, for the first time in several years in his home town of Bristol. The concerts featured regular interruptions orchestrated by Tricky, where he brought his youngest brother, Marlon Thaws to rap on stage alongside other local rappers as well as encouraging the audience to come up on stage. The review of the concert in Manchester said it was "shambolic" and a "car crash" with Tricky often leaving the stage and continuously forgetting his words, leaving Topley Bird to carry the delivery of the tracks, resulting in many leaving early after repeated issues with Tricky's behaviour and shouts of "wanker" from the crowd.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://louderthanwar.com/tricky-featuring-martina-topley-bird-manchester-academy-2/|title=Tricky featuring Martina Topley Bird.

In February 2013, Tricky announced the release of a new album, ''[[False Idols]]''. The album is the follow-up from his 2010 ''Mixed Race'' and featured [[Peter Silberman]], [[Fifi Rong]] and [[Nneka (singer)|Nneka]]. Tricky released this statement about the album:
::"This new album I'll stand behind every track. I don't care whether people like it. I'm doing what I want to do, which is what I did with my first record. That's what made me who I was in the beginning. If people don't like it, it don't matter to me because I'm back where I was."<ref>{{cite web |last=Minsker |first=Evan |title=Tricky Announces New Album False Idols, Shares Track 'Nothing's Changed' |url=http://pitchfork.com/news/49716-tricky-announces-new-album-false-idols-shares-track-nothings-changed/ |access-date=27 February 2013 |website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] |date=27 February 2013}}</ref>
