Bloc Party

On November 27, 2018, Bloc Party took the stage at Melbourne's Margaret Court Arena, delivering a performance that would resonate with longtime fans. By this time, the band had recently released their album 'Hymns' in 2016, marking a significant comeback after a hiatus. 'Hymns' showcased a new direction for Bloc Party, blending their classic post-punk sound with electronic influences, and it was during this period that they embraced a more varied sonic palette. Interestingly, the live recording features the iconic track 'Banquet,' which has been a fan favorite since its debut on their 2005 album 'Silent Alarm.' This song captured the youthful angst and vibrant energy that initially defined their music, making it a fitting choice for the live setting. As they played in Melbourne, fans were reminded not only of the band's evolution but also their enduring connection to the powerful emotions their music evokes.
