The East Coast’s premier music festival has officially raised the bar. New York City’s Governors Ball has unveiled its blockbuster 2026 lineup, tapping a trio of global icons to lead the charge at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Running from Friday, June 5, to Sunday, June 7, 2026, the festival promises a sprawling celebration of pop, K-pop, and hip-hop that reflects the city’s diverse cultural pulse.
The headlining slots are a dream for genre-bending fans. Lorde makes her triumphant return to the New York stage, expected to debut new material from her highly anticipated fourth studio album. Joining her is the global K-pop sensation Stray Kids, marking one of their largest U.S. festival appearances to date, and Harlem’s own A$AP Rocky, who is set to deliver a high-concept homecoming performance of his new upcoming album DON’T BE DUMB.
The star power extends deep into the undercard. BLACKPINK’s Jennie is slated for a solo set that will undoubtedly be a festival highlight, while Baby Keem brings his signature high-octane energy to the rap stage. Adding a touch of soulful glamour is Kali Uchis, whose ethereal vocals are perfectly suited for a sunset performance. With a lineup that balances mainstream dominance with critical darlings, including the likes of KATSEYE, Mariah the Scientist, Major Laer, Clipse, Domonic Fike and more, Governors Ball 2026 is positioning itself as the must-attend event of the summer. Pre-sale tickets are expected to go live later this month, following the tradition of the festival’s rapid sell-outs.
