Bloc Party to record Silent Alarm live album on European tour
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 20 September 2018
Bloc Party have announced that they will release a new live album featuring them performing their debut LP, ‘Silent Alarm’, in full. The new record will be unleashed on 22 Feb next year. Thing is, they still need to record it. That’s something they’ll do on their upcoming European tour.
The band will be playing six shows around Europe, where they will be performing the album from start to finish. Also, just announced is a warm-up show at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on 13 Oct. Your only other chance to see them in the UK will be at Alexandra Palace on 24 Oct, which is, like, way bigger. Also, it’s sold out.
As will be the Leeds show very soon, so to be in with a chance of getting tickets you’d better get yourself on the band’s mailing list sharpish.
‘Silent Alarm’ was original released in February 2005, meaning the new live album will come out just as it hits its fourteenth anniversary. You know, the anniversary everyone traditionally celebrates. Just think, it’ll be old enough to legally drink alcohol in restaurants in Nicaragua!
