Live: Bloc Off The Wall live at Rowacella 2024!
This weekend was a special one for sure! I was invited to a festival which was new to me & which is now in it’s third year ‘Rowecella’ was a revelation & refreshing combination of amazing food, carefully selcted drinks & refreshments & a sublime combinination of entertainemnt, from DJ’s such as Anna Kiss( who kindly invited me) to bands such as ‘Bloc Off The Wall’ & some very tasty Pale Ale’s & big burgers! It was a win from the start! The team behind the event have a genuine passion & the event is family friendly & welcomes all ages during the day, We will be writing a review of the event on here as well but for now i want to tell about this performance, high energy, precision deployment of pure dance classics with a twist & clever reinvention, within minutes the tent was full and we were at the front to witness complete crowd control via musical magic! Versions of songs everyone knew from all ages were dealt out with no mercy & no apologies!

Bloc Off The Wall’s big sound brings an infectious energy sure to get crowds bouncing.
The Music & Events
Festivals
In more recent years Bloc Off The Wall have developed a nostalgic, high-impact, live dance anthems style set featuring a selection of iconic club classics from the 90’s and 00’s and beyond, which has become well suited and popular for the festival environment. This is even inspiring the band to work towards including some of their own material in the same kind of genre. The group are excited to do more of these type of shows going forwards, so keep an eye out for updates.
The Alps & Apres Ski
Bloc Off The Wall have gained years of experience performing around the Alps. They have appeared in many Apres Ski venues in French resorts such as Meribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens, Val D’Isere, Tignes, La Plagne, La Tania, Morzine and Chamonix to name a few. They have also done week-long residencies playing in 5 star establishments in Switzerland such as Hotel Post in Zermatt and Le Farinet in Verbier. These adventures have also led to the group being hired for Apres Ski themed events and parties. The band are due to return to the Alps in January 2024.
Private Functions & Corporate Events
Bloc Off The Wall have performed at a long list of weddings, private parties and corporate events at some of the finest venues and locations around. For these types of events the setlist can be more eclectic with the band playing a selection of pop hits from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s in the first half before moving more into the club/dance anthems mode later on in the show.
