Lorde, Stray Kids and A$AP Rocky are set to headline the 2026 edition of Governors Ball, New York City’s signature music festival back for its 16th year. Governors Ball (or as its commonly referred to ‘Gov Ball’) will return to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens from June 5-7, coinciding with New York Music Month.
Lorde is set to take the stage on Friday, with Stray Kids headlining on Saturday, and A$AP Rocky closing out the weekend on Sunday. Other artists on this year’s bill include Baby Keem, Kali Uchis, Jennie, Katseye, Geese, Major Lazer, Pierce the Veil, Dominic Fike, Blood Orange, Clipse, Mariah The Scientist, Wet Leg, Amyl and The Sniffers, Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, The Dare, 2hollis, Ravyn Lenae, Japanese Breakfast, King Princess, Flipturn, Thee Sacred Souls and many more – including NY-based talent Geese, The Dare, Del Water Gap, Arcy Drive, Lexa Gates, The Backfires and Chanpan, as well as School of Rock Queens, School of Rock New York and Kids Rock for Kids.
The 2026 Gov Ball will deliver three days of live music, showcasing more than 60 artists across three stages. This year, Spotify has teamed up with Gov Ball this year for a new in-app experience that allows users to pull from their listening history to help plan their on-site experience.
Gov Ball has also made several monetary donations to support Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where the festival is being held. NYC Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said in a statement: “Parks are the heartbeat of our communities, and events like Governors Ball demonstrate how our public spaces can bring people together through shared cultural experiences.”
All ticketing information can be found on the festival’s website.
