Bloc Party 2023 Australian Tour Setlists

Bloc Party are playing a quick run of headline shows around Australia before teaming up with Interpol for a trio of double-headline shows. It’s the London indie rock outfit’s first Australian visit since 2018, when they performed their debut album, Silent Alarm, in full at shows around the country.

Since that previous visit, Kele Okereke and co. released their sixth album, 2022’s Alpha Games. The High Life EP followed in July 2023. You can find all of Bloc Party’s 2023 Australian tour setlists below.
