Kilby Block Party has announced the artist lineup for its seventh annual edition, due to take place at Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City, UT on May 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2025.
The 70-artist lineup includes headliners Lorde, The xx, Turnstile, Hayley Williams, Modest Mouse, and Alex G in addition to Blood Orange, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, Japanese Breakfast, Magdalena Bay, Flipturn, The Last Dinner Party, Briston Maroney, Beach Bunny, American Football, Kevin Morby, and more.
Kilby Block Party 2026, produced by S&S Presents, will expand upon the improvements brought to the event last year including a larger footprint at the Utah State Fairpark, utilization of the Days of ‘47 Arena for one of the festival’s smaller stages, adjusted positioning of stages to reduce audio bleed, more space for attendees to relax or dance throughout the site, and more free water stations. Kilby Block Party 2026 will also introduce Kilby Club VIP (formerly known as VIP+), with dedicated center stage viewing areas and access to the backstage Kilby Club VIP lounge, among other perks. See the ticketing page for the Kilby Club VIP map and other details.
Per a press release, “Beyond the music, festival goers spend the weekend seeing old friends and making new ones to dance with, they peruse craft vendors and shop for records, and watch professional skaters shred away at the festival’s annual skateboarding competition, The Crusher Cup presented by Skullcandy. When it’s time for a break there are plenty of appetizing food and beverage options available to indulge in, all while taking in the awe inspiring views of the surrounding snow capped mountains. When the lights go down on the main stage at the end of the day, the fun moves to the official after shows, spread out among Salt Lake City’s iconic venues including Urban Lounge, Metro Music Hall, and the genesis of the festival’s namesake, Kilby Court.”
What began in 2019 as a one-day block party to mark the 20th anniversary of SLC’s beloved all-ages music venue Kilby Court has grown into one of the top destination festivals for fans of independent music. Last year’s festival welcomed over 25,000 attendees per day from all over the world. Revisit Live For Live Music‘s on-the-ground coverage of the 2024 edition of Kilby Block Party here.
