Published December 6, 2023

The Kilby Block Party is gearing up for an impressive musical showcase in 2024, featuring headliners LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, and The Postal Service. Additionally, the event is excited to host a rare festival performance by the elusive harpist Joanna Newsom, adding an air of exclusivity to the already stellar lineup.

Event Details and Lineup

The festival, now in its fifth year, is set to take place from May 10-12 at the Utah State Fairgrounds in Salt Lake City, Utah. Fans eager to attend can purchase tickets starting December 6. Building upon the success of previous years, the festival celebrates Salt Lake City's prominent all-ages music venue, Kilby Court.

Beyond the headlining acts, the festival boasts a diverse range of performers including Wu-Tang Clan, Death Cab For Cutie, Interpol, Jail Paul, Belle And Sebastian, 100 gecs, Dayglow, Courtney Barnett, TV Girl, Alvvays, Dinosaur Jr., and many others. Notably, the event will also feature CSS, returning to the US stage after an 11-year hiatus.

Joanna Newsom's Festival Appearance

Joanna Newsom's upcoming appearance at the festival is a special highlight, as she has largely stayed out of the spotlight since her last live performance in March 2023. Fans can look forward to her enchanting blend of old and new material, potentially including unreleased songs. Newsom's most recent album, 'Divers,' released in 2015, continues to be celebrated for its inventive storytelling and intricate folk compositions.
