Last year’s event featured performances by Tyler, the Creator, Benson Boone, Olivia Rodrigo, Feid, Hozier, and Glass Animals. The prior year saw Post Malone, Rauw Alejandro, The Killers, 21 Savage, SZA, and Peso Pluma take the stage.
What to Expect from Governors Ball 2026
Over the three-day event, which will be held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, attendees will get to take in more than 60 artists across three stages.
In addition to the music, fans can look forward to gourmet food and curated beverages, participate in immersive fan experience, snap selfies at photo ops, and enjoy yet-to-be announced vendors, activations, and programming.
Presale will take place on Thursday, Jan. 8 from 10 to 11 a.m. ET. Public on-sale will begin as soon as the presale ends, at which time ticket prices will increase.
Ahead of the event, Spotify has launched Gov Ball Festival Experience, a first-of-its-kind tool to help fans connect with the performers like never before.
According to the streamer, the experience analyzes your listening habits to “showcase the unique overlap between user listening history and the 2026 Gov Ball lineup.”
The feature will generate a personal playlist for users, which will pair their top artists from the lineup with up-and-coming acts they’re likely to love.
