Governors Ball Unveils 2026 Artist Lineup: A$AP Rocky, Lorde, Geese, Blood Orange, Clipse, Amyl and the Sniffers and More

Governors Ball Music Festival has unveiled the full artist lineup for its 2026 staging. Returning to its recent home of Queens, N.Y.’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park from June 6-8, New York’s premier music festival will once again draw a stacked and eclectic bill for its summer kick-off. This year, the event is set to feature 60 celebrated acts, led by headliners Lorde, Baby Keem, Stray Kids, Kali Uchis, A$AP Rocky and JENNIE.

Gov Ball 2026 will launch on Friday with early sets from indie and alt-pop acts like The Beths, Arcy Drive, The Dare and last year’s breakout pop star Audrey Hobert. Household names like pop rocker King Princess, experimental hip-hop trailblazer 2hollis, R&B vocalist Mariah the Scientist (making up for a cancellation last year), emo staples Pierce the Veil and global girl group KATSEYE will build to show-closers from Baby Keem and Lorde.

Day two will better serve alternative and electronic audiences, with Wisp, Jane Remover and retro-soul trio Thee Sacred Souls setting the stage in the afternoon. Later standouts include the genre-bending Snow Strippers, neo-soul singer-songwriter Ravyn Lenae, indie rock duo Wet Leg, Australian punks Amyl and the Sniffers, EDM’s Major Lazer and the singular Blood Orange, preceding headliners Kali Uchis and Stray Kids.

Come Sunday, Gov Ball’s 16th annual presentation will culminate in sets from some of the most widely acclaimed artists of 2025. After spotlighting rising talents like Rachel Chinouriri and Fcukers and returning favorite Japanese Breakfast, the festival will feature Clipse, Freddie Gibbs & the Alchemist and Geese, all currently riding waves of critical and commercial success for their landmark releases Let God Sort Em Out, Alfredo 2 and Getting Killed. At long last, the weekend will come to a close with finales from JENNIE and New York icon A$AP Rocky, who’s currently gearing up to release his long-awaited fourth studio album Don’t Be Dumb on Jan. 16.

Tickets for Gov Ball 2026 will be available for presale on Thursday, Jan. 8 at 10 a.m. ET; all remaining stock will open for a general on-sale at 11 a.m. ET. For more information, visit governorsballmusicfestival.com.
