Kilby Block Party returns for its seventh year with a stacked 2026 lineup headlined by Lorde, The xx, and Turnstile. Rounding out the top of the bill are Hayley Williams, Modest Mouse, Alex G, Blood Orange, Father John Misty, Lucy Dacus, Magdalena Bay, and Japanese Breakfast. See the full lineup below.

The festival, which will take place at the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City, Utah from May 15-17, began as a small, one-day neighborhood block party and has grown exponentially in size and stature year after year, steadily becoming one of the country’s standout independent music celebrations. This year, organizers plan to improve the experience even further; according to a press release, upgrades will include “the utilization of the Days of ‘47 Arena for one of the festival’s smaller stages, changed positioning of stages to reduce audio bleed, more space for music fans to relax or dance throughout the site, and more free water stations.”

Three-day passes go on sale Wednesday, November 19, at 10:00 a.m. MST, with tickets and travel packages available at KilbyBlockParty.com.
