Bloc Party to celebrate their 20th anniversary with their biggest show to date at London's Crystal Palace Park

Bloc Party announce the show with the promise of seminal debut record Silent Alarm played in its entirety as well as more of their greatest hits. Alongside the milestone show, 2024 will see Bloc Party re-releasing a large selection of rare songs, deep cuts and fan favourites to streaming services, ensuring their complete catalogue is available to fans for the very first time.

Kele Okereke of Bloc Party says: “We've been having so much fun playing shows over the past year, so it makes sense to do something special for old and new fans, celebrating twenty years of Bloc Party. We heard from a lot of people that they couldn't get tickets for the Silent Alarm gigs, so a one-off summer party playing that and the bangers feels like the right thing to do.”

To celebrate 20 years of Bloc Party we're playing Silent Alarm and all your other faves at special one-off outdoor show - our biggest ever!

By the time they released their ground-breaking 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), and now the band are taking time to reflect by bringing a set spanning 20 years, and brimming with greatest hits, to Crystal Palace Park next summer.

Bloc Party will be joined by The Hives, Friendly Fires, The Mysterines, and Connie Constance.
