New York’s 2026 gubernatorial candidates aren’t the only Governors to keep an eye on this year.
Governors Ball announced their 2026 lineup and they’re bringing in a number of heavy hitters across genres as varied as K-Pop, Hip-Hop, rock, EDM, R&B and more to Flushing Meadows Corona Park from June 5-7.
Just a few of the most exciting acts set to swoop into the expansive park that’s easily accessible off the 7 train and LIRR include soulful pop star Lorde, rapidly rising K-Pop boy band Stray Kids, Hip-Hop hitmaker/hometown hero A$AP Rocky, Blackpink member Jennie and NYC’s own indie rock darlings Geese.
They’ll be joined by Katseye, Major Lazer, Wet Leg, Baby Keem and Kali Uchis among others.
In total, 61 singers, groups and DJs are slated to perform over the long three-day weekend.
Per usual, Gov Ball has promised local and gourmet culinary delights to accompany the entertainment. Although vendors have yet to be announced, last year, they brought in mouth-watering Cuban fast casual spot Cafe Habana, Harlem institution Charles Pan-Fried Chicken, fan-favorite Empanada Mama, the tasty wood-fired Roberta’s Pizza and upscale ice cream purveyor Van Leeuwen.
“A refreshed beverage program tailored for the New York summer heat will also be on tap” according to a press release.
Never been before?
Post reporter Miska Salemann attended the 2025 Gov Ball and noted “…this multi-genre festival feels more like a good-natured family reunion than a raging musical bender” in an exclusive review.
