Bloc Party

In the live recording of 'Banquet' at Alexandra Palace on October 24, 2018, Bloc Party was riding a wave of revived energy and creativity. This performance came shortly after the release of their fifth studio album, 'HYMNS,' which dropped in January 2016. By this point in their career, the band had seen some shifts in their lineup and direction but managed to recapture their energetic post-punk roots that made them a staple in the early 2000s. Interestingly, 'Banquet' is one of their signature tracks, and despite the band's evolving sound, the energy of their live performances remained electric. It’s not just a song—it’s a testament to their enduring resonance with fans and the powerful connection they foster in live settings. Playing in iconic venues like Alexandra Palace only adds to the atmosphere, making this recording a remarkable snapshot of their continuing legacy.
