Melbourne’s John Cain Arena roared to life as Bloc Party celebrated 20 years of Silent Alarm, delivering the album in full with raw energy and stunning lighting. Kele Okereke’s commanding vocals and the band’s explosive performance had the crowd in constant motion, from “Banquet” to a powerful encore of “This Modern Love” and “Flux.”

Opening the night, Young the Giant returned to Australia for the first time in over a decade, captivating fans with a polished, atmospheric set featuring hits like “Cough Syrup” and “My Body.”

An unforgettable night of indie-rock evolution—two iconic bands, one electric crowd.
