Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City album cover
 A Weekend in the City is the second studio album by Bloc Party, which was released on February 5, 2007. The album was produced by Jacknife Lee. The album cover is A Modern Project by Rut Blees Luxemburg. 'The City' in question in the album title is London.

This album deals much more with normal day working life than was addressed on Silent Alarm, drawing themes from the 7 July 2005 London bombings, immigration, drug abuse, Black British lifestyle, and criticism of youth subculture and casual sex. The album has been met with largely positive reviews by web-critics and fans alike.

The first UK single, "The Prayer", was released on 29 January 2007. The first single in the U.S. is "I Still Remember". The album itself entered the UK chart at number 2, outselling Fall Out Boy's new album, Infinity on High. In the U.S., the album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, with 47,726 copies sold (according to Nielsen SoundScan).
"Song for Clay (Disappear Here)" was originally titled "Merge on the Freeway" (and is inspired by the novel Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis), "The Prayer" was originally "A Prayer to the Lord", "On" was originally "Wet", "Where Is Home?" was originally "Death of a Century", "Machine" and "Perfect Teens", and "I Still Remember" was originally "It Started in an Afternoon".
A low-quality rip of the album was leaked in its entirety in November 2006, three months before the official release. Faculty from V2 Records have been trying to delete the leaked files from P2P and torrent networks while keeping the leak unknown to the public. A high-quality rip of the album became available through various torrent networks on 11 January 2007.

When the album was previewed (seemingly in its entirety) on MySpace, the song "Where Is Home?" was omitted, suggesting it may not appear on the album upon its release. However, the song was indeed included on the CD release.
