The festival's four stages will see 70 acts from names like Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, Phoebe Bridgers, Future Islands, Leon Bridges, Ellie Goulding, Portugal. The Man, Princess Nokia, Young Thug, Carly Rae Jepsen, DaBaby, Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist, Orville Peck, Bartees Strange, Amaarae, MIKE and more. Festival-goers can also expect "mural towers," huge statues, "high-flying" inflatables, unannounced pop-up performances, too.
And while that's already cause for excitement, Governors Ball is heading to a brand new location. (Sayonara, Randall's Island!) This year, it'll take over the massive parking lot at Citi Field in Queens. We really liked it at Randalls Island, but here's why Citi Field works this year, according to organizers—Founders Entertainment. Not only is it easy to get to via subway, the LIRR and by bus, but all the stages will be centered in the middle. Holding it here will make a 360-degree layout that prevents sound bleed between stages and eliminates long walks. Most importantly, however, the location's easy access will make it easier to react/reschedule to and around weather events, like flooding, which has caused problems in the past. And if you're worried about standing on hard concrete in the sun, it'll all be covered in "high-grade astroturf to add color and comfort."
There will be plenty on-site things to eat and drink, too—already confirmed is Coolhaus, Davey's Ice Cream, Stuffed Ice Cream, Gordo's Cantina, Hong Kong Street Food, Papermill, The Nugget Spot, Friterie, King of Pops, Matchabar, Pizza Nova, Try Vegan, Flaming Wok, Hebros Kitchen, Hippi Dips, Tayler's tots and Brats, Lil' Sweet Chick, Roberta's Pizza, Mighty Quinn's BBQ, Big Mozz, Arancini Bros, Doughnuttery x Nugget Spot, Melt Shop x King David Tacos, and much more.
