Governors Ball has become an institution of music culture in New York since its conception back in 2011 on Governors Island, its namesake.
This year’s multi-day festival is going to be a smash hit, with a head-turning lineup that you won’t want to miss out on. Gov. Ball is set to take place from June 5 through the 7th at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in New York, a spacious grassy venue with tons of room, giving festival goers tons of space to dance and jam out to their favorite artists.
Speaking of artists, this year’s lineup is a doozy, with Billboard chart-topping names like A$AP Rocky, Lorde, STRAY KIDS, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, along with other popular acts like Katseye, Wet Leg, Pierce The Veil, Blood Orange, Japanese Breakfast, Geese, 2Hollis, The Dare and so much more. Though Lorde played Gov Ball in 2017, this year marks her first time as a headliner, while Harlem native Rocky previously headlined the event in 2021. In fact, there are plenty of New Yorkers on the lineup, including Geese, The Dare, Del Water Gap, Arcy Drive and Lexa Gates, The Backfires and Chanpan.
