Bloc Party

+ Special Guests

Bloc Party will play their seminal debut album Silent Alarm live and in full at four huge shows across the UK this summer, including a date in Brighton. It will be the first time they have performed in the UK since a one-off show at London’s Alexandra Palace - which sold out in minutes - in October last year.

Silent Alarm was released in 2005 to widespread critical and commercial success, achieving multi-platinum sales and earning Bloc Party a Mercury Prize nomination. The album has since been heralded as one of the most influential and important of the decade by outlets as diverse as Pitchfork, Q, Newsweek, Spin, Complex and Clash, and was named in numerous lists collating the best albums of the decade, whilst NME named it as one of the best of all time.
