Bloc Party + Young The Giant - Hordern Pavilion 31st July 2025

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Silent Alarm plus the Hits

Bloc Party straight off the plane from the UK with "jet lag" played in full their critically acclaimed album Silent Alarm celebrating it's 20th anniversary including their hits to a packed out Sydney Hordern Pavilion and the fans reacted dancing on shoulders and singing along to their favourites including "So Here We Are", "Banquet" and "Like Eating Glass"

Frontman Kele Okereke delivered a magnetic performance on vocals/guitar with original guitarist Russell Lissack's atmospheric riffs and powerhouse drummer Louise Bartle combining perfectly with new bassist Harry Deacon.

Encore included "Signs", "Two More Years", "Helicopter", "Ratchet" and "This Modern Love".
