As a part of the 2016's [Pias] Nites, Bloc Party and TOY have been announced as headliners for the two nights at London's Village Underground. The gigs will feature an array of awesome supports and will occur on the 26 and 27 January 2016.
Gearing up for the release of their new album, HYMNS, which is due for a release on the 29 January, Bloc Party will be headlining a night on the 26. The support slots will be filled by Blaenavon and FEWS as well as a late-night DJ set from Radio X's John Kennedy who will also be spinning tunes on the 27.
The slightly cheaper night where TOY will be headlining will be support sets from the likes of indie-hearthrob and Wichita signee Oscar and Thomas Cohen as well as the aforementioned DJ set from Kennedy.
