Bloc 2011 is the biggest YET! Having sold out a full SIX WEEKS earlier than ever before, Bloc looks set to be rammed with party people.

A message from Bloc HQ:
“Sincere and massive thanks to the ticket-wielding Bloc family who have joined together, acted as one and bought every last ticket to the fifth birthday celebration. We love each and every one of you.”

A limited NUMBER of tickets will go back on sale shortly. To get on the cancellations list please email: blocshop@baselogic.net. Names on this list will be contacted with any information on tickets that become available.

>> Fancy dress theme // Heroes and Villains
As is tradition, the final day of Bloc is abandoned to unhinged silliness and fancily dressed frivolity. This year the theme is ‘Heroes and Villains’ – think superheroes, supervillains, evil witches, knights in shining armour, cruel mistresses, admirable rotters, amiable Trotters, tyrants of yesteryear and mythical Gods of ancient times. Get your kit on!
>> Bloc. all-stars added to the lineup!
Just when you thought Bloc couldn’t get any bigger… Bloc has long been associated with the backbone of the UK electronic music scene – DJs and artists who represent fresh, honest and skilful underground technological audio experience in the UK. So, WELCOME BACK:
