Bloc Party are set to celebrate two decades of their landmark debut album Silent Alarm with a deluxe 20th anniversary edition and a global tour. Originally released in 2005, Silent Alarm catapulted the band into the spotlight with its razor-sharp sound and emotionally resonant songwriting — now hailed as one of the most influential records of the 21st century.
Releasing on 26 September 2025, the Silent Alarm 20th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set offers fans the most comprehensive collection of material from this defining era. The four-LP box includes the original album, a trove of B-sides and rarities, the band’s iconic 2004 BBC John Peel Session, and — for the first time — seven never-before-released demos. Additional formats include a 2xLP, 2xCD, and a limited 1xLP Amazon Music exclusive reissue. All are available to pre-order now.
Silent Alarm was met with critical acclaim upon its release, earning a Mercury Prize nomination and topping year-end lists from Pitchfork, NME, Rolling Stone and more. It’s since been canonised as a genre-defining release. Recent praise reaffirms its legacy: Billboard called it “an essential of 21st century indie rock,” while Clash labelled it “one of the defining albums of the ‘00s.”
The anniversary celebrations extend far beyond the record store. Bloc Party will embark on a massive tour starting in Mexico City on May 8, 2025, with dates across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Festival highlights include Just Like Heaven in Pasadena, Mad Cool in Madrid, and dual slots at Reading & Leeds.
Silent Alarm remains as urgent and alive today as it was 20 years ago — a raw, emotional, and unfiltered look at youth, alienation and resilience. With this new chapter, Bloc Party invite fans old and new to experience the record in all its powerful, newly expanded glory.
