Bloc Party

At the time of their live performance at the Just Like Heaven Festival in Pasadena on May 21, 2022, Bloc Party was in an exciting phase of their career marked by their fifth studio album, "Alpha Games," which had been released just a week prior, on April 29, 2022. This album marked a return to their post-punk roots and showcased a more aggressive sound compared to their earlier work. Interestingly, Bloc Party's frontman, Kele Okereke, mentioned that the band wanted to create music that felt vital and urgent, which certainly comes across in their performance of "Traps" at the festival. Their energetic set was a testament to their ability to engage with fans, proving that even after nearly two decades, they still have that electric live presence. It’s a remarkable moment for both the band and their dedicated followers, who have stayed with them through various musical evolutions.
