Bloc Party

In the summer of 2016, Bloc Party was navigating a fresh chapter in their career, having released their fourth studio album, 'Hymns,' just a few months prior, in January. This album marked a significant shift for the band, with a blend of electronic influences and a more introspective lyrical focus that diverged from their earlier post-punk roots. The live recording from the Hurricane Festival captures Bloc Party's vibrant energy as they performed hits like 'Virtue' and 'Hunting for Witches.' Interestingly, this performance was part of their first tour without founding member Matt Tong, who had left the band in 2013. Despite some lineup changes, they embraced their evolution, showing resilience and a commitment to their artistry. The audience can feel that synergy, witnessing the band both honoring their past while pushing toward new musical landscapes.
