The Governors Ball Music Festival has officially revealed its 2026 lineup, and once again, New York City’s biggest summer festival is delivering a bold, genre-blurring bill. Returning to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens on June 5–7, 2026, Gov Ball’s three-day event brings together pop superstars, global acts, indie favorites, and hip-hop heavyweights for one of the most eclectic festival lineups of the year.

Friday: Lorde & Baby Keem Kick Things Off

Friday’s lineup is topped by Lorde and Baby Keem, setting the tone for a day that balances introspective pop with cutting-edge hip-hop. The day also features a strong mix of alternative and rock acts including Pierce the Veil, Turnover, The Beths, and Arcy Drive.

Pop-leaning and experimental names like Katseye, Mariah the Scientist, Audrey Hobert, and Confidence Man round out a packed opening day.

Saturday: Stray Kids & Kali Uchis Lead a Global-Forward Day

Saturday leans heavily into global pop and alternative energy, with K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids and genre-defying star Kali Uchis headlining the day.

The undercard is stacked with indie and alternative favorites, including Blood Orange, Wet Leg, Thee Sacred Souls, Japanese Breakfast, and Ravyn Lenae.

Acts like Amy and the Sniffers, Jane Remover, Snow Strippers, and Flowerovlove ensure Saturday stays unpredictable from start to finish.

Sunday: A$AP Rocky & Jennie Close Out the Weekend

Sunday’s headliners bring massive star power, with Harlem native A$AP Rocky and BLACKPINK’s Jennie closing out the festival.

Hip-hop fans will have plenty to celebrate with performances from Freddie Gibbs (alongside producer The Alchemist), Clipse, Dominic Fike, and Hot Mulligan.

Indie and rising-artist highlights include Geese, Holly Humberstone, Rachel Chinouriri, and Hemlocke Springs, making Sunday one of the most diverse days on the schedule.

Tickets & What’s Next

Presale tickets for Governors Ball 2026 are available now via the festival’s official website, with additional details, such as daily schedules, stage breakdowns, and aftershows, expected in the coming months.

With a lineup that blends global pop, hip-hop legends, indie staples, and emerging artists, Gov Ball 2026 once again proves why it remains one of the most forward-thinking festivals in North America. June can’t come soon enough.
