Bloc Party performs Banquet live at SZIGET Festival 2016

Date: August 10, 2016

In August 2016, Bloc Party performed at the SZIGET Festival, showcasing their single "Banquet" during a pivotal moment in their career. This performance marked a significant period as it came soon after the release of their album "Hymns," which had hit the shelves earlier that year. This was also the first album to feature new guitarist Justin Harris, following the departure of founding member Matt Tong and guitarist Kele Okereke's evolving journey through the band's sonic landscape. The live recording captures the energy of the festival atmosphere, blending nostalgia with the freshness of their new material. It's fascinating how Bloc Party has managed to maintain their relevance in a constantly changing music scene while still connecting deeply with long-time fans in this vibrant setting.
