The Governors Ball Music Festival is a one day event to be held June 18th on New York City’s Governors Island. Featuring Girl Talk, Pretty Lights, Empire of the Sun, and Big Boi (of Outkast) among many other great acts, the announcement of the Governors Ball Festival has been met with considerable enthusiasm. New York Magazine notes that Governors Ball “has a lot going for it,” including it’s “lovely” location and “potent lineup” going on to say, “with All Points West shuttered, it’s nice to see another big annual music fest contender on the East Coast.” Stereogum commended the “solid hip-hop component” and Gothamist touted the fest as a very welcome addition to the summer schedule. Both Early Bird tickets and a limited quantity of 2nd tier advanced tickets at a reduced price are now SOLD OUT. Regular priced tickets and VIP packages remain available for purchase.
