UK indie rock royalty Bloc Party are reuniting with fans down under, announcing a headline tour hitting Australia and New Zealand in August joined by special guests Young The Giant. Bloc Party are celebrating 20 years as a band, and the 20th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album, Silent Alarm.
SIGN UP FOR PRESALE
Fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Christchurch and Auckland will experience Silent Alarm alongside Bloc Party’s greatest hits. With almost two decades and six albums worth of material, fans will be spoilt for choice with favourites in live form including “Banquet”, “Helicopter”, “This Modern Love”, “Flux” and more.
Described as a “defining moment in 21st century British guitar music” by Clash Magazine, Bloc Party’s debut album remains as integral to the cultural zeitgeist as it did when it came out in 2005. Silent Alarm fills sweaty indie dance floors with its propulsive beats, sharp guitar work and catchy pop hooks. It won NME Album of the Year in 2005 and Indie Rock Album of the Year at the 2006 PLUG Awards along with nominations for Best Alternative Act at the MTV Music Awards and the 2005 Mercury Prize.

Bloc Party got their break in 2003 when lead singer Kele Okereke gave a copy of single “She’s Hearing Voices” to Franz Ferdinand’s lead singer Alex Kapranos and BBC Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq, who subsequently played the song on his show labelling the track as “genius”. The band has gone on to headline major music venues and festivals around the world including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds. Bloc Party are renowned for their experimental blend of math rock, indie, and pop, creating an infectious and ambitious sound.
Ready to amplify Australian stages again following their sold-out co-headline tour with Interpol in 2023, Bloc Party are set to electrify audiences with their genre-bending catalogue of hailed gems.
Critically acclaimed US rockers Young The Giant will be heading down under as support, playing Australia for the first time in 14 years. Known for their dynamic performances and genre-defying sound, the chart-topping band continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their much-loved anthems including “Cough Syrup”, “My Body” and “Mind Over Matter”. With more than 1.8 billion music streams and a legion of fans, they’ll be bringing their multi-platinum discography and anthemic melodies to cities across the country this August.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
