Bloc Party?

[theloveofmusic1]

With The Libertines reunion last year who reckons this year will be the year of Bloc Party's return

that would be a very good sub for Muse who are rumoured to have The Prodigy sub them which i doubt will happen with them playing 2 years back and them basically whoring them selves out to festivals.

Also another reunion in Panic! at the disco which i can see with them beginning to release new stuff, people's thoughts?

[VCK]

Possibly, they do owe us a performance after all, it's been too long.

[Jackmypie]

Yes please!! They were amazing last time I saw them.

Bloc Party will headline Reading and Leeds in 2014.

You heard it here first.

It'll be an exclusive as well, it'll be their big reunion gig.

Bloc Party sub headlined to Raidohead 2 years back and to the Killers the year before that, not to mention they were 3rd top in 2007, the exact same year that the Prodigy last played. It's more likely that prodigy would play because the havent played for a while before that.

I can't tell if this thread is supposed to be a joke or not.

I could see them playing, but where do you put them on the line up?

[Davis_89]

Can't see it happening myself. They have played Reading to death over the last 7 years. I count 5 appearances in that time with 3 high main stage slots so it's not going to happen.. not this year anyway. Give it a couple of years for any sort of reunion to make an impact and gather media attention and they could very well headline. 2013 would be my guess.

Would love to see them

Didn't they release a record and tour in 2008? Not really a reunion is it?

also, found out something today! Bloc Party are in the studio! writing a new album! this does defo increase their chances of playing! dreams can hopefully become reality.

It's wouldn't be Reading and Leeds without Kele

(incidentally he was awesome solo last year)

Bloc Party on the line up would be a great addition. No matter how many times the faithful R/L crowd have seen them, they will always get everyone going and put on a good show.

Even Kele put on a fantastic solo show last year. Would happily see Kele or Bloc Party back at R/L

agreed. Would be totally amazing addition maybe even playing under blur! that would be an awesome sunday

[purplehaze81]

I wish people would stop speculating about Blur. Yes, we'd all love it to, but IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

[FiestaDave]

I've never seen so many people want Bloc Party to play on this forum ever. I like them but I doubt we'll see them this year.

I can only see them headline i the next couple of years if they release another album and it is not a flop.

[Bisque]

I would love to see Bloc Party headlining but would they shift enough tickets for Festival Republic to put them up top? I can't imagine them getting a huge crowd as headliners but they always go down brilliantly at Reading. It's not that I don't like them, they are one of my favourite bands & live acts (have seen them 5 times & Kele solo too is amazing), but I don't think they would be commercially viable without the release of a reunion album to play this year.
