Kilby Block Party Wraps with High-Energy Sets from Still Woozy, Suki Waterhouse, and Justice
Rain greeted festival attendees on the final day of Kilby Block Party 2025, but that didn’t stop fans from embracing the weather and packing in early for the last day of Kilby Block Party 2025. Ponchos were worn, wet shoes were stomped in, and puddle-slicked pavement was traversed.
Orla Gartland opened the day with an incredibly passionate performance. She quickly won over both existing and new fans with her gracious presence, engaging directly with the crowd and displaying a genuine gratitude to be performing at the fest. Gartland shared a brief, resonant moment of reflection on the importance of art and togetherness during politically tense times in America. From there, the tone shifted to one of nostalgic beauty as Tennis took the stage.
Currently on their farewell tour, the duo delivered a melancholically lovely set. Their alternative/indie sound bumped throughout the Kilby Stage with fans filling the pit to enjoy one of the last opportunities to hear this band live. Tennis’ set served a reminder of how many eras of indie music Kilby embraces.
Momentum continued with a high-energy performance from Suki Waterhouse, who had fans screaming, singing along, and mirroring her magnetic stage presence.
A standout of the afternoon was Geese, whose vocalist Cameron Winters turned heads with a charged, full-body performance. Between sing-screaming vocals, crowd-surfing fans, and spontaneous moments like a fan’s hat being worn mid-set, their set was raw and unforgettable.
Still Woozy’s Sven Gamsky kept that electric energy alive, bouncing around the stage and climbing into the crowd mid-song to join fans in the pit. It was one of the most kinetic sets of the day, with audience members visibly ecstatic by the interaction.
As night fell, Justice closed out the weekend with a massive, bass-heavy EDM set that transformed the festival into a final dance party. Their intricate visuals lit up the park as hands reached for beaming lights, and fists punched the air to each beat. For many, it was the first time seeing crowd surfing at an EDM show — a fittingly wild cap to four days of multi-genre joy. The French duo came down to the barricade to shake hands with fans before exiting, which acted as a simple but powerful gesture to close out an unforgettable weekend.
Despite the rain in the first half, the fourth and final day of Kilby Block Party ran smoothly and wrapped on a highly euphoric note. It was a perfect sendoff to a landmark year for the festival, which many are calling “The New Coachella.”
