This year’s multi-day festival is going to be a smash-hit, with a head-turning lineup that you won’t want to miss out on. Gov. Ball is set to take place from Jan. 5 through the 7th at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in New York, a spacious grassy venue with tons of room, giving festival goers tons of space to dance and jam out to their favorite artists.

Speaking of artists, this year’s lineup is a doozy, with Billboard chart-topping names like A$AP Rocky, Lorde, BLACKPINK’s Jennie along with other popular acts that Katseye, Wet Leg, Pierce The Veil Tickets, Blood Orange, Japanese Breakfast, Geese, 2Hollis, The Dare and so much more. Though Lorde played Gov Ball in 2017, this year marks her first time as a headliner, while Harlem native Rocky previously top-lined the event in 2021.
