Kilby Block Party returns to Salt Lake City’s Utah State Fairpark from May 14-16, with (most of) its 2027 lineup now unveiled. Next year’s headliners are Deftones, Fontaines D.C., the Strokes, Slayyyter, Jungle, and Lil Yachty. Further down the bill, spot Spoon, Weyes Blood, Hot Chip, Kurt Vile, Kim Gordon, Atlas Sound, Iceage, Erika de Casier, Grace Ives, Ratboys, Quiet Light, and Greg Freeman.
Lorde, the xx, and Turnstile headlined this year’s Kilby Block Party. Note that the 2027 slate features a number of yet-to-be-revealed artists—11 in total. If you’re the enterprising sort, you can perhaps take some educated guesses as to the missing names, based on the number of question marks in each blank space.
