Bloc Party celebrate 20th anniversary of ‘Silent Alarm’ with deluxe box set 

Bloc Party will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ by releasing a special box set edition of the record.

The re-release of the seminal album, originally published in 2005, will feature a collection of four LPs. The first is a newly pressed version of the original album, while the other records contain 12 B-sides, a 2004 John Peel session for BBC Radio 1, and seven unheard demos. 

To celebrate the anniversary of the record, the band will be setting off on a mammoth tour of the US this summer, as well as dates in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. They’ll also stop at festivals in the UK, including Reading and Leeds and Portsmouth’s Victorious festival. 

The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set will also be sold as a version with two LPs or CDs, and will also be available on Amazon music. The new record is available to preorder now and is officially released on 26th September.
