The Block Party festival is set to return in 2024 wiht a diverse lineup featuring several notable acts. Bloc Party will make its first North American festival appearance in over three years. The xx, who haven’t performed as 2018, are also slated to take the stage. Turnstile, fresh off receiving five Grammy nominations in 2024, will co-headline a high-profile event for the first time in their career.
Venue Expansion and Local Integration
Local promoters S&S Presents are expanding the festival’s footprint within the fairgrounds. This includes utilizing the Days of ’47 arena as a smaller stage and reorienting existing stages to minimize sound bleed between performances. Beyond the main festival grounds,attendees can enjoy the Crusher Cup skateboarding competition,presented by Skullcandy. Evening shows featuring festival artists will also be held at local venues like Kilby Court, Urban Lounge, and Metro Music Hall, further integrating the festival with the Salt Lake City music scene.
“We’re thrilled to bring such a dynamic lineup to Salt Lake city and expand the festival experience beyond the fairgrounds,” said a representative from S&S Presents. [Source: Hypothetical S&S Presents Press Release]
