In June 2009, during the Glastonbury Festival performance, Bloc Party was at a pivotal point in their career, having just released their third studio album, "Intimacy," in 2008. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating elements of electronic music alongside their trademark post-punk revival style. The live recording of "Hunting for Witches" at Glastonbury showcases the band's energetic stage presence and the reception of their newer material in front of a massive audience. Notably, "Hunting for Witches" had been included on the band's second album, "A Weekend in the City," released in 2007, indicating the band's continuous engagement with their earlier works while transitioning into new sonic territories. This performance also highlighted Bloc Party's prominent role in the UK indie scene during the late 2000s, underscored by their ability to connect deeply with festival audiences.
