A New York festival weekend

Governors Ball brings a broad contemporary music programme to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens. More than 60 artists are spread across three stages, so the event feels focused enough to navigate while still moving between pop, hip-hop, electronic music and other sounds.

Three days in the park

The 2026 edition ran June 5 through 7. Its identity is tied to New York as much as any single genre: a large city crowd, an outdoor park setting and a lineup intended to cross scenes rather than serve one specialist audience.
