Bloc Party have announced two huge new shows for summer 2025, in Manchester and Brighton, alongside the recent news that they will headline next year’s Live At Leeds In The Park festival.
The shows will celebrate 20 Years of Bloc Party and see them performing their debut album Silent Alarm alongside a selection of greatest hits.
Moving from hooky post-punk to ambitious genre mashing, and back again, Bloc Party’s artistic restlessness has served them well since the early 2000s.
Lead by impassioned frontman Kele Okereke, the band’s initial EPs played a pivotal role in shaping British indie rock for years to come. By the time they released their groundbreaking debut album Silent Alarm in 2005, their experimentation with electronic textures in their musical style cemented them as trailblazers.
More albums, and innovation, followed with A Weekend in the City (2007), Intimacy (2008), Four (2011), Hymns (2016) and most recent record Alpha Games (2022). The band released a new single ‘Flirting Again’ in 2023, and last year began the phased release of a large selection of rare songs, deep cuts and fan favourites available to streaming services, ensuring their complete catalogue is available to fans, including their 2005 single ‘Two More Years’ and Little Thoughts EP.
The band headlined their biggest show to date, playing to 25,000 people at Crystal Palace Park, last summer.
