Governors Ball 2025 hit a snag on day two as weather concerns forced organizers to cancel and delay performances.
On Saturday (June 7), the three-day festival — which launched Friday at New York City’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park — announced that headliners and other scheduled sets would be pushed back due to forecasts of rain and thunder in the area.
“Due to predicted weather, doors will be delayed until 4:30pm. Please delay your arrival and plan accordingly. Stay tuned for the updated schedule!” Gov Ball organizers posted Saturday morning on X.
The festival was originally set to open at 12 p.m. on Saturday, but after monitoring weather conditions, organizers released an updated schedule later in the day. The new lineup confirmed the cancellation of early sets from Lexa Gates, Yaya Bey, The Backfires, and others. Several later performances were rescheduled, with most acts pushed back by an hour or more.
Saturday headliner Olivia Rodrigo, initially slated to perform at 8:30 p.m. on the main stage, was moved to 9:25 p.m. Feid and Wave to Earth, both closing out other stages, had their set times shifted to 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., respectively. Other artists still expected to perform Saturday evening include Marina, Young Miko, Conan Gray and Car Seat Headrest.
Governors Ball 2025 opened Friday with performances from Tyler, The Creator, Benson Boone, Mk.gee, T-Pain, Tyla, Role Model, The Backseat Lovers, JPEGMAFIA, and more. The fest is scheduled to wrap on Sunday (June 8) with sets from artists including Hozier, Mt. Joy, Clairo, Raye, Royel Otis, The Japanese House, Amaarae, Key Glock, Berlioz and Montell Fish.
