Next month’s Bloc weekender will be the last one ever

Bloc has announced that its festival at Butlins next month will be the last weekender it ever throws.

The promoter is planning to focus all its efforts on developing the East London venue Autumn Street Studios into a “super club” and building low-cost music studios in the surrounding area.

Co-founder Alex Benson spoke to Resident Advisor about the decision, saying: "Weekenders are strange, beautiful things. Bloc itself has had some very widely publicised ups and downs. For us, in the middle of it, it has been a rollercoaster.

“Of course, everyone will have been on rollercoasters - they're quite a trip, and leave you euphoric, shaken and with a new-found zest for life. Eventually, you get off having had a thoroughly great time. And that's where we are."

There’s still some tickets available for Bloc 2016. Head here to purchase now.
