Bloc Party have announced they will head to Australia and New Zealand this year to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary.

Kicking off in August, the UK indie outfit will perform shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Christchurch and Auckland.

Fans heading to the shows can expect to hear tracks from Bloc Party’s debut album, Silent Alarm, which is also celebrating 20 years, and more of the greatest hits from their extensive catalogue.

Following its release in February 2005, Silent Alarm was a critical and commercial success. As well as debuting in the top #3 of the UK Albums Chart, the record was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize that year and has since consistently featured in greatest albums of all time lists.

The album features some of Bloc Party’s biggest tunes, including “Helicopter,” “Banquet,” and “This Modern Love.”

The trip to Australia is the London-formed group’s first since their 2023 run with Interpol.

Bloc Party will be joined on the tour by US rockers Young The Giant who will be making their debut trip down under.

Presale tickets can be snapped up at 9am local time on Wednesday March 19th, while general public tickets go on sale from 9am local time on Friday March 21st. For more details, click here.
