NEW YORK — The 2026 Governors Ball lineup was announced Tuesday with headliners for the three-day festival including New Zealand singer Lorde, South Korean acts Jennie and Stray Kids and Harlem’s A$AP Rocky.
The annual music festival will return to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens Friday June 5 through Sunday, June 7. Tickets are available for presale on the Governors’ Ball website through Thursday. Tickets still available will be sold directly to the public.
More than 60 artists are participating in this summer’s entertainment extravaganza.
Performances begin June 5 with Lorde and California rapper Baby Keem leading a day of music that features sets by Katseye, Pierce the Vail, Mariah the Scientist and hometown musicians from the School of Rock Queens.
The second day of performances is headlined by Stray Kids and Grammy Award-winning dance music singer Kali Uchis.
Other Saturday shows include performances by Major Lazer, Blood Orange, Wet Leg, Spacey Jane and Newark New Jersey, singer Jane Remover.
“Catch me at Gov Ball B—” Jane Remover posted on Instagram Tuesday.
The 2026 Governors Ball closes Sunday, June 7, with A$AP Rocky and Jennie turning off the lights.
Performers on that day also include Dominic Fike, Brooklyn rockers Geese, Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist and the School of Rock New York.
Governors Ball began on Governors Island in June 2011. It moved to Randall’s Island for three seasons before returning to the place where it started in 2014. It remained on Governors Island until 2017 when the festival returned to Randall’s Island, where it remained through 2020. Alas, that year’s show was shutdown by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2021 and 2022 Governors Ball events were hosted by Citi Field in Queens. It moved to its current location in 2023. Last year’s show was headlined by Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier.
Roughly 150,000 people are expected to attend Governors Ball.
