Bloc Party

Bloc Party are coming to NYC for Governors Ball this June, but ahead of their SXSW appearance, they’ll stop here for a GovBall-presented headlining show on March 16 at Irving Plaza. Tickets for that show go on sale today (1/29) at noon. All dates are listed below.

The band’s new album Hymns is their first with Menomena’s Justin Harris on bass and Louise Bartle on drums, and their most electronic-sounding yet. It comes out today and you can stream it below…
