Bloc Party perform at Berlin airport

Bloc Party have performed a gig inside the dining lounge of Berlin's Tempelhof International Airport.

The hour-long set ran through 14 tracks, including 'Mercury', 'One Month Off' and 'Halo' from their new album Intimacy.

Speaking to NME about the performance, bass player Gordon Moakes said: "It was quite exciting when we first walked in and saw the runway right next to us.

"Weirdly, it actually reminds me of the Academy 3 in Birmingham a bit! In terms of the stage size, anyway. But the building itself is a lot better than that. It reeks of old Germany."

The airport will close next weekend to be replaced by the Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.
