Thievery Corporation to headline 2022 Block Party Eagle

Block Party Eagle, the Vail Valley’s kickoff to summer, returns June 3-5, and features numerous bands, including the just-announced headliner, Thievery Corporation.

Friday and Saturday two-day general admission and VIP Experience tickets are on sale now, in addition to a Bloodies & Bluegrass concert and brunch on Sunday. All events will take place in downtown Eagle.

Twenty-five years into their genre-defying electronic music career, Thievery Corporation’s founding members Rob Garza and Eric Hilton have created one of the most unique bodies of work in electronic music, respectfully incorporating tastes of international styles, without ever falling into the trap of cultural appropriation. After a dozen highly acclaimed full-length albums, remix LPs, concert recordings and decades of incendiary live performances, Thievery has carved their course as pioneers of song-based electronic music with wildly diverse vocalists.

Thievery Corporation’s music was founded in the band’s legendary Washington D.C. headquarters that became an epicenter for diverse talent from around the world, which had a profound influence on their musical output.

“D.C. was very cosmopolitan, lots of places to see international live music and jazz,” Garza said. “We’d run into people from all over the world and invite them to play with us – so Thievery became an extension of that, both on our records and in our live performances.”
