Bloc Party

Words by Lizzy.

Many of us are still recovering from the Christmas holidays and New Years Eve celebrations, the festival season will soon be upon us and with so many great options, we need to start planning which ones to snap up tickets for!

If the things you like least about festivals are having to sleep in a wet tent, the lack of shower facilities and having super noodles for breakfast, why not take a look at the line-up for this year’s Bloc festival.

Celebrating its fifth-year, Bloc will be returning to Butlins in Minehead from the 11-13 March. Over the last few years Bloc has featured a diverse range of music, from eletronica, hip-hop, dub to drum and bass. Some of the highlights over the last five years include Aphex Twin, Salt N Pepa and the two kings of dub, Skream and Benga.

This year is no exception with the following acts confirmed: Aphex Twin / Magnetic Man / Laurent Garnier / LFO / Moderat / Four Tet / Vitalic / Speedy J / Matthew Dear / Jamie XX / Mary Anne Hobbs / Joy Orbison / Floating Points and many more.

Best of all, you can enjoy all this after a good nights sleep in your own private apartment! Tickets start at £140 (an absolute bargain if you ask us!) and includes four night’s accommodation with up to eight of your closest friends, access to all BLOC arenas and all of the resort’s facilities – including the water park!

Check out who of your mates are heading down at the official Facebook Event.
