Governors Ball returns to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, June 5–7, with a lineup that hits across genres and delivers serious energy all weekend. This is one of New York’s biggest outdoor music events—three days, three stages, and a mix of headliners, rising acts, and proven live performers that make it worth the trek. Tickets can still be purchased here on the official website.
Gates open at 11:30 a.m. daily. Music runs until around 10 p.m. The stages are Verizon (main), Snapchat, and The Grove. Expect crowds to build in the afternoon as the talent this year is stacked from early on to night.
Friday, June 5 – Lorde closes it out
On Friday, Lorde brings her atmospheric, commanding live show to close the night. Earlier, Baby Keem and Pierce The Veil deliver high-energy sets, while Mariah The Scientist and The Dare offer strong mid-afternoon options.
Saturday, June 6 – Stray Kids Headline
Stray Kids bring massive production and a high-intensity performance to close Saturday. Major Lazer and Kali Uchis create strong dance and groove pockets in the evening, while Wet Leg, Blood Orange, and Amyl and the Sniffers give the day real bite.
Sunday, June 7 – A$AP Rocky closes out the festival
Sunday rounds out the weekend with hip-hop heavy hitters and sharp indie/pop acts.
On Sunday, A$AP Rocky headlines as a hometown hero with his massive stage energy. Jennie, Dominic Fike, Clipse, and Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist make the evening stacked for hip-hop, k pop, and R&B fans. Japanese Breakfast and Geese are strong picks for something different in the afternoon.
