Last month, the Basilica Block Party announced its return after a five-year hiatus. The announcement included the fact that the music event will have a new venue — Boom Island Park — but held back on announcing the performers for this event.

On Thursday, the concert series filled in the blanks, releasing the details of the two-day event. Headliners on the mainstage will include the Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows, while a second stage will provide a venue for local acts.
