Kilby Block Party has announced the lineup for its sixth edition. Newly expanded from three days to four, the indie-focused festival is set to take place at Utah State Fairpark from May 15th–18th, 2025 and feature headlining performances by New Order, Beach House, Weezer (performing The Blue Album), and Justice in addition to 70+ other artists.
Joining New Order on Thursday, May 15th are Devo, Future Islands, Yo La Tengo, Teen Suicide, and Levelor. Friday, May 16th’s Beach House performance will come alongside sets by Slowdive, Car Seat Headrest, Julien Baker & Torres, Built to Spill, Perfume Genius, Peter McPoland, Vacations, Youth Lagoon, The Lemon Twigs, Momma, Hey, Nothing, and more, plus a pair of acts still to be announced.
On Saturday, May 17th, Weezer’s Blue Album set will come alongside music by Wallows, St. Vincent, Toro y Moi, Montell Fish, Black Country, New Road, Panda Bear, Gang of Four, The Black Angels, IDKHOW, George Clanton, Wisp, Ovlov, and others while Justice’s festival-closing slot on Sunday, May 18th will follow sets by TV on the Radio, Still Woozy, Nation of Language, Tennis, Real Estate, Boa, Jay Som, Geese, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Vagabon, Frost Children, Nourished by Time, and more, plus one band still to be revealed.
Along with even more music, Kilby Block Party 6 will also see the festival expand its footprint at the Utah State Fairpark, providing space for increased amenities such as additional water stations and adding room for patrons to relax or dance while they take in the festival. The additional space will also allow for adjustments to stage placement. In 2025, the festival will use the Days of ’47 Arena for one of its smaller stages and change the positioning of other stages to reduce audio bleed.
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.
