Snow may still be on the ground but, in true New York fashion, we're already gearing up for summer: the Governors Ball 2026 lineup just dropped and it's looking as great as usual.
Returning to Flushing Meadows Corona Park on June 5 through June 7, the musical event will feature headliners Lorde, Stray Kids and A$AP Rocky alongside a slew of other big-name artists, including Major Lazer, 2Hollis, Kali Uchis, Baby Keem and more.
Presale tickets will go on sale this Thursday, January 8, at 10am EST. You can sign up for a presale passcode right here. Keep in mind that all ticket prices will increase at 11am on Thursday, when the public on-sale kicks off.
Once again, festival goers will be able to snag pit viewing 3-day and 1-day tickets, which offer the same amenities as VIP but include an exclusive viewing area at all three stages.
Back to the talent: attendees will get to catch Lorde in her first-ever turn as a festival headliner (she previously performed at Gov Ball in 2017), followed by the global K-pop phenomenon Stray Kids. A$AP Rocky’s set is also sure to be a standout, given his prominence as a Harlem native.
Interestingly enough, this year's bill actually highlights a strong roster of NYC-based artists: Geese, The Dare, Del Water Gap, Lexa Gates and Arcy Drive. As usual, the festival will function as a platform to highlight local talent.
And so, while commuting to the office and shivering in your boots, take a moment to close your eyes and picture yourself rocking out to Lorde while surrounded by fellow New Yorkers in the middle of a park in Queens. This year's Governors Ball is almost here.
