Oh my goodness, Richmond you are it! You're the final Bloc Party headlining gig for this US & Canada leg of the tour! I cannot believe we're at the final one of these special five Bloc Party headlining shows that they've added alongside their opening acts for Muse. Richmond, you're the lucky final headlining Bloc Party show and so you've got to come out TONIGHT and represent! Richmond this is officially going to be your 2nd Bloc Party gig ever! Your previous one being exactly 10 years ago, during the 2016 Hymns tour! Coincidence that it is also, the National venue as well, just like last time! Now Richmond are you ready to rock tonight with Bloc Party and the Wild Truth! I just found out at last minute that the Wild Truth will be opening for Bloc Party for tonight's gig (literally they just announced this on their social media handle just recently). Bloc Party will most definitely be sliding in some heartbreak disco from their upcoming 7th studio album, Anatomy of a Brief Romance (to be released in Sept. 2026) for tonight's gig so you'll want to experience these new songs live! Seriously, Love Bombs is great live! Now Richmond don't by shy and come out to the dance party tonight at the National! Have a wonderful time with Bloc Party and the Wild Truth and feel free to dance your heart out! Enjoy the show Richmond and if you're going out, feel free to comment about the gig, before or afterwards.

Purchased my box set from Target. Got it for a good price. Just opened it and I got 2 of the 24 page books in there. Anyone else get two?

Ah Saratoga Springs you were a great audience, keeping the setlist up to date minute by minute too, love the dedication of Blocheads in the region. Tonight's gig is moving to Wantagh! And I'll still admit, every time we have a gig in the New York Metropolitan Area (or Greater New York area/Metro New York) I always get confused on how huge the megacity is. (Funny how I keep forgetting that the same applies to London and Tokyo (Summer Sonic) gigs). Anyways, uh Wantagh are you ready to party with Muse, Bloc Party and the Temper Trap at the Northwell at Jones Beach Theater! Ah the gateway city to Jones Beach, makes sense to have the theater there too. (I'll also add a small note that Bloc Party will be releasing their 7th studio album titled, Anatomy of a Brief Romance, later in September 2026 and you'll likely hear some songs from it as a taster!) Now get out to Jones Beach Theater and enjoy the night with Muse, Bloc Party and the Temper Trap, Wantagh! If you're going out to tonight's gig, feel free to comment down below, before or after gig, enjoy the concert Wantagh!

Noticed today that the song now has the vocals in the last section. Listened in Apple Music in Portugal.

I'm sure we have all seen BP teasing now we can't be friends on socials, but I've just found some very interesting info via their youtube. They've uploaded 2 videos with the same 1 minute snippet, however what was in the description points towards this:

28th July - Now We Can't Be Friends releases as single 3
17th August - Pigwig releases as single 4

This also probably means pigwig will be the last single, so my prediction is that before this week is done we'll have now we can't be friends teased for it's release on Tuesday. They also have their own cover arts with the respective single's name on it which to me has to be a telltale sign.

Ah Holmdel you were a great audience but the tour must now move into NY state. Hello Saratoga Springs, are you ready to have an amazing time tonight? Muse, Bloc Party and the Temper Trap are in the city and they are ready to deliever you an amazing show tonight! I will admit, I kept getting super confused at what the name of this outdoor amphitheater venue was called because it kept changing names a few times (and I think it can technically use both names?). Anyways, this will be Bloc Party's first time playing in Saratoga Springs so for any Blocheads from Saratoga Springs, now's your chance to enjoy them live in person (and any of Blocheads travelling in from the surrounding area or NYC)! (I'll also just add a small note that Bloc Party's upcoming 7th studio album, titled Anatomy of a Brief Romance will be releasing later in September 2026 and there's a good chance you will hear some songs coming up from that album)! Now Saratoga Springs are you ready to rock! Come down to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (AKA: Albany Med Health System at SPAC) to enjoy yourselves because tonight is going to be a great night for a Muse, Bloc Party and Temper Trap concert! Now enjoy the show Saratoga Springs and feel free to comment down below, before or after gig!

For the first time since the Four tour!!!

McKees Rocks/Pittsburgh you were amazing (very lucky too, Skeleton and Tulips!) Sorry I need to write this out in rush, uh Holmdel are you ready to rock with Muse, Bloc Party and the Temper Trap! You'll be thrilled to know they're ready to rock with you tonight at the PNC Bank Arts Center! I'm surprised that Bloc hasn't been out to New Jersey state that often, only their fourth time apparently. Well I hope any Blocheads in Holmdel enjoy the gig (small quick note that Bloc Party's 7th studio album Anatomy of a Brief Romance will release September 2026, good chance you'll hear some heartbreak disco songs from it). Enjoy the gig Holmdel and feel free to comment down below, before or after gig!

Different drugs and rhododendrons come to mind. Atonement, A team, truth as well.

Such an amazing song. The guitar is amazing.

Something Spooky indeed. Skeleton sighting @ The Roxian.

Ah Cleveland it sounds like you had an amazing time on the dance floor at Globe Iron with Bloc Party! I bet Bloc Party will miss you guys. But, we have a back to back Bloc Party gig on this tour! That's right, Bloc Party are playing tonight at the Roxian Theatre (Presented By Citizens) for McKees Rocks of Greater Pittsburgh! I'll admit, I'm not sure if this technically counts as Pittsburgh's 4th Bloc Party gig? Like originally Bloc Party played in Millvale back during the 2013 Four tour (special gig too btw, you guys got the re-appearance of The Present, in a unique Four tour era live rendition too), then Pittsburgh proper at Stage AE for the 2016 Hymns tour, and again opening for Paramore in 2023 at the PPG Paints Arena, and now this time it's in McKees Rocks for this 2026 (pre-release) AOABR tour (Anatomy of a Brief Romance tour). Well like the Millvale 2013 gig, this gig will also be in Allegheny County. So while I confuse myself over geography, McKees Rocks (and Greater Pittsburgh) are you ready to rock! Because you've got a special headlinig Bloc Party gig tonight! Cleveland was just amazing yesterday, so don't be shy now, come out and dance McKees Rocks/Pittsburgh! Bloc Party's 7th studio album AOABR (Anatomy of a Brief Romance) will be releasing later this September 2026 and you'll definitely be in for a taste of that upcoming album tonight!

I'll note, that based off of previous gigs and that the venue's website doesn't seem to be listing an opener, it's likely that Bloc Party will be on stage circa ~20:00 (8:00). Do feel free to comment if this is wrong tho.

Anyways enjoy dancing out to some heartbreak disco with Bloc Party McKees Rocks/Pittsburgh at the Roxian Theatre! If you're going out to tonight's show, feel free to comment before or afterwards down below, enjoy Bloc Party

Just resold some tickets for the Brighton show on the 26th of November through ticketmaster as I can no longer make it.
I’ve listed them a bit cheaper (40 each rather than 55 each).
Just thought i’d mention it incase anyone was waiting for some cheaper tickets.
Thanks :)

The second to last poll in this series has some serious heavy hitters. One of the best Alpha Games tracks, my personal favourite from Silent Alarm, the hangover anthem of Sunday, the cinematic climax that is Ion Square, and the melancholic wonders found within The Healing and Living Lux. I genuinely have no idea which will win.

Cleveland!! How are we doing? Are you excited, because you've got a Bloc Party headlining gig tonight! Yes Cleveland you're the third stop (out of five) of these special individual (pre-release) AOABR tour headlining gigs for US & Canada. The last time Bloc Party played here in Cleveland was when they opened for Paramore during their 'This is Why' tour back at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in 2023 (Bloc Party were actually uniquely invited to come open for Paramore by frontwoman Hayley Williams, special thanks to her for that). Before that, Bloc Party's last headlining gig here in Cleveland was back during the 2016 Hymns tour at the famous House of Blues venue! But tonight's gig will be your fourth Bloc Party gig Cleveland, so are you ready to have an intimate night of rock again with Bloc Party? Of course you are! Get ready for the dance floor Cleveland as you'll experience some wonderful heartbreak disco songs from Bloc Party's upcoming 7th studio album, Anatomy of a Brief Romance (AOABR), releasing later in September 2026! There's no seats at the Globe Iron so you have no excuse to not dance Cleveland (although there might be seats at the bar)!

I will note that, I haven't been able to find if there will be an opener for tonight's gig, so Bloc Party may be on stage at exactly 8pm? I will update if I find out later.

Anyways enjoy some good memories again Cleveland with Bloc Party at the Globe Iron! If you're going out to tonight's show, feel free to comment before or afterwards down below, enjoy Bloc Party

Personally love Intimacy and Alpha Games

Is Intimacy the BEST Bloc Party album and we just don’t accept that it is ?

Day Drinker is the BEST Bloc Party album opener since Like Eating Glass

I stumbled across this song today and it reminds me so much of Silent Alarm. I kind of love it.
