Deftones, the Strokes and Fontaines D.C. Set to Headline Kilby Block Party 2027
The Strokes, Deftones, Fontaines D.C., Slayyyter, Jungle and Lil Yachty will headline Kilby Block Party 2027, the festival's organisers confirmed on 28 October 2026, as Pitchfork reported. The festival runs from 14 to 16 May 2027 at the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City, Utah.
A block party is a free-spirited, multi-day festival, and this one has a long run of shows behind it. This year's edition was headlined by Lorde, the xx and Turnstile before the next lineup was announced.
Beyond the headliners, the bill includes Spoon, Weyes Blood, Hot Chip, Kurt Vile, Kim Gordon, Atlas Sound, Iceage, Erika de Casier, Grace Ives, Ratboys, Quiet Light and Greg Freeman. Consequence also named IDLES among the top-billed acts and confirmed that Wednesday will perform.
Not every name is public yet. Pitchfork reported that 11 artists on the 2027 bill are still to be revealed, so the lineup is expected to grow in the coming weeks and months.
The official lineup is listed on the festival's own website at kilbyblockparty.com/lineup. Anyone planning a trip to Salt Lake City in May can check there for set times and ticket details as they are published.
For fans, the practical takeaway is simple: mark 14 to 16 May 2027 in the calendar, and watch the lineup page for the remaining names. For the wider industry, a festival that books across rock, pop, electronic and indie acts gives many performers, crew members and local businesses work in the same spring weekend.
