Bloc Party
Bloc Party is set to celebrate the anniversary of their debut album Silent Alarm with a concert in Munich on July 15, 2025. This marks the first date in Germany for their anniversary tour, commemorating the album released exactly 20 years ago. The British band, fronted by singer and guitarist Kele Okereke and guitarist Russell Lissack, will perform at Zenith in Munich. Although founding members Matt Tong and Gordon Moakes are no longer part of the lineup, they are ably replaced by Harry Deacon on bass and drummer Louise Bartle, who have been impressing fans at live shows.
Upon the release of Silent Alarm on February 2, 2005, Bloc Party had already made waves across England and Europe. The early demo of "She's Hearing Voices" ignited interest, followed by hit singles like "Banquet," "Helicopter," "Little Thoughts," and "So Here We Are," showcasing the band's immense potential. The album also features standout tracks such as the powerful opener "Like Eating Glass" and the timeless ballad "This Modern Love." The British publication NME heralded Silent Alarm as "bloody brilliant," praising Bloc Party as a diverse band appealing to fans across various cultures and styles.
During this concert, the band will perform Silent Alarm in its entirety along with other hits from their impressive discography, including recent work from their latest studio album, Alpha Games.
