Bloc Party

In 2016, when Bloc Party performed at the Sziget Festival on August 9, they were in the midst of promoting their album "Hymns," which had been released earlier that year on January 29. This album marked a significant phase for the band as it was their first release after a four-year hiatus and the first with new members, particularly bassist Justin Harris and guitarist/bassist Ivan Kostadinov. Their performance at Sziget highlighted a blend of new tracks from "Hymns" alongside classic hits from their earlier albums, showcasing their evolution while maintaining their signature sound. Additionally, the Sziget Festival is renowned for its diverse lineup and vibrant atmosphere, providing Bloc Party with an opportunity to re-engage with fans and attract new listeners, further solidifying their position within the alternative rock scene.
