The Kilby Block Party has announced its 2026 lineup, with Lorde, The xx, Turnstile, and Hayley Williams among the performers scheduled for May 15-17 in Salt Lake City.

The three-day festival will return to its downtown location, bringing together artists from multiple genres. Organizers confirmed the dates through social media channels this morning, with tickets going on sale Friday.

Lorde will make her first appearance at the festival, marking her return to Utah after a four-year absence. The New Zealand artist is expected to perform material from across her catalog during her set.

The xx will bring their atmospheric sound to the festival grounds on Saturday evening. The London trio last performed in Salt Lake City in 2018.

Turnstile’s inclusion on the bill represents the festival’s continued embrace of hardcore and punk acts. The Baltimore band has been touring extensively in support of their recent releases.

Hayley Williams will perform as a solo artist, separate from her work with Paramore. This marks her second appearance at Kilby Block Party, having previously played the festival in 2021.

Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks, according to festival organizers. Early bird passes start at $175 for the weekend, with single-day tickets available for $75.

The Kilby Block Party began in 2023 as a one-day event and has since expanded to a full weekend format. The festival takes its name from Kilby Court, the venue that helped launch Utah’s independent music community.
