Bloc Party, 20 Years Of Bloc Party: Silent Alarm & Greatest Hits, May 30
What a time to be young and alive in Boston during the winter of 2025: The Red Sox were World Series champions, Vice magazine was essential reading, and the indie dance party ruled the rock clubs. And an exciting new English band called Bloc Party soundtracked it all with an iconic and incendiary debut album in Silent Alarm, a rhythm section-fueled mammoth album of emotion filled with essential aughts bangers like “Banquet,” “This Modern Love,” and “Helicopter.” Two decades quickly followed, and we’re still chasing that high. Now Bloc Party bring the record and all its jagged beauty back to North America for a very attractive May 30 dance party at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, the first of 13 continental dates after Kele and the gang play SoCal’s Just Like Heaven festival. Joining the fun are Canadian alt-rock radio faves Metric, who show off their 2009 album Fantasies, itself filled with indie bangers like “Help I’m Alive,” “Gold Guns Girls,” and “Gimme Sympathy.” This will be the family reunion we’ve all been waiting for. Tickets go on sale Friday (February 14) at 10 a.m. local time.
