Bloc Party

When you look back at the sea of mid-noughties indie bands, there are few still standing and even fewer, some 20 years later, who are still experiencing career highs. But this was the precise spot Bloc Party found themselves in

Moving from hooky post-punk to ambitious genre-mashing -- and back again -- Bloc Party's artistic restlessness has served them well since the early 2000s. The mix of 's impassioned yelp and Russell Lissack's angular riffs on their first EPs helped shape British indie rock for the rest of the decade, but by the time Bloc Party released their platinum-selling 2005 debut album Silent Alarm, they'd added atmospheres drawn from post-rock and electronic textures to their style. The East London band continued to push themselves on 2007's A Weekend in the City and the following year's Intimacy, incorporating influences from hip-hop to modern composition and writing songs that ranged from socially aware to deeply personal. Bloc Party's later albums were also adventurous, whether they borrowed some of post-hardcore's bite on 2011's Four or mused on spirituality on 2016's reflective, redemptive Hymns. Despite hiatuses and lineup changes, when they returned to their razor-sharp post-punk on 2022's Alpha Games, Bloc Party sounded as fresh as ever.

Fatboy Slim

Known for timeless hits like “Praise You”, “Right Here, Right Now”, “The Rockafeller Skank”and “Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat”, Fatboy Slim dominates the global dance music scene and remains one of the world's most in-demand DJs. He famously attracted over quarter of a million people to Brighton Beach in 2002 and since then has become a must-see performer at major festivals around the world. His live shows are renowned for their high energy, dynamic visuals and impeccable curation, making his Electric Bay Festival debut on Saturday 12th July one of the standout events of Summer 2025.
