Bloc Party

In June 2009, when Bloc Party performed "Helicopter" live at the Glastonbury Festival, they were promoting their third studio album, "Intimacy," released in 2008. This album marked a notable shift in the band's sound, incorporating more electronic elements and a more experimental approach compared to their earlier works. The performance at Glastonbury came at a significant time, as the band was gaining momentum but also facing scrutiny over their evolving musical style. "Helicopter," a fan-favorite from their debut album "Silent Alarm," was emblematic of their energetic live presence. Notably, the performance showcased the band's ability to connect with a large audience, solidifying their status in the indie rock scene during that period. The live recording captures both the intensity of their music and the excitement of performing at one of the world's most renowned music festivals.
