Bloc Party 2019 live dates.

Formed in 1999 by Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack and established as Bloc Party in 2003, the band quickly gained recognition in the early-mid 2000s with their debut album, Silent Alarm. Following its release in 2005 the record earned widespread critical acclaim and was named Album of the Year by the still-relevant NME, nominated for a Mercury Prize and eventually certified Platinum. 

 

It's that debut album that will provide the material for Bloc Party's 2019 tour, with the UK leg kicking off in Bristol at the end of June. Some of the band's biggest-ever tracks came from Silent Alarm, including So Here We Are/Positive Tension, Banquet, Pioneers and Helicopter, and so you can expect a huge show when Okereke, Lissack, Justin Harris and Louise Bartle play the seminal album in its entirety this summer.

 

From Bristol the band will go on to play at the Brighton Centre, the Castlefield Bowl in Manchester and Glasgow's Kelvingrove Park Bandstand. Having performed Silent Alarm in full last October in London to rave reviews, you don't want to miss their first performance on Bristol soil since 2016.

 

Tickets for Bloc Party live at Bristol's Lloyds Amphitheatre on Friday 28th June go on sale at 9am on Thursday 31st January and can be found here. For more information on the band or to follow tour updates, visit their website or check out their Facebook page.
