The full lineup for the Basilica Block Party has been released, featuring the Goo Goo Dolls and the Counting Crows as headline acts.
Tickets go on sale March 22 at 10 a.m., via the event's website. Two-day block party passes are $159 and one-day passes will be available for $89.
Organizers originally teased a return of the event in February, saying it will return on Aug. 2 and 3 at Boom Island Park.
Here's a look at the main stage acts for each day:
Friday, Aug. 2
- Goo Goo Dolls
- The Fray
- Dean Lewis
- Red Clay Strays
- Yam Haus
Saturday, Aug. 3
- Counting Crows
- NEEDTOBREATHE
- Judah & The Lions
- Phillip Phillips
- Ingrid Andress

The festival will also feature an all-local second stage. Performing there on Friday will be Run Westy Run, Black Widows, The Ocean Blue, Whiskey Rock and Roll Club, Parishes and Cindy Lawson.
On Saturday, St. Paul and The Minneapolis Funk All Stars, Nur-D, The Mary Jane Alm Band, She's Green, and The Muatas will perform on the local stage.
The block party returned in 2021 after its 2020 event was shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but was then canceled in both 2022 and 2023.
This year's event has shifted to Boom Island Park, having typically been held in July on the grounds of the Basilica of St. Mary.
