The singer said the band was ready to release "new stuff", speaking exclusively to NME at Latitude.

Okereke said: "There are some plans for new stuff. I'm not sure what I can say... I'd be surprised if there wasn't some new stuff before the end of the summer."

The Bloc Party band would get back together on this year in September, according to the band's guitarist Russell Lissack.

He said: "Kele and I started working on Bloc Party stuff together and separately. We're having a bit of a break until the festivals are over, because people have commitments during the summer, but we're going to get back properly in September and sit in a rehearsal studio to work on new band material."
