Governors Ball has become an institution of music culture in New York since its conception back in 2011 on Governors Island, its namesake.

This year’s multi-day festival is going to be a smash hit, with a head-turning lineup that you won’t want to miss out on. Gov. Ball is set to take place from June 5 through the 7th at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in New York, a spacious grassy venue with tons of room, giving festival goers tons of space to dance and jam out to their favorite artists.

Speaking of artists, this year’s lineup is a doozy, with Billboard chart-topping names like A$AP Rocky, Lorde, STRAY KIDS, BLACKPINK’s Jennie, along with other popular acts like Katseye, Wet Leg, Pierce The Veil, Blood Orange, Japanese Breakfast, Geese, 2Hollis, The Dare and so much more. Though Lorde played Gov Ball in 2017, this year marks her first time as a headliner, while Harlem native Rocky previously headlined the event in 2021. In fact, there are plenty of New Yorkers on the lineup, including Geese, The Dare, Del Water Gap, Arcy Drive and Lexa Gates, The Backfires and Chanpan.

If you’re looking to secure your tickets to the festival, look no further than this article. We’ve compiled a list of ticketing sites where you can snag tickets for one or all three of the festival days before they sell out. Keep reading to find out more.

Fashionable as always, headliner A$AP Rocky just attended the 2026 Met Gala alongside fellow musician and boo Rihanna. The rapper is set to embark on his Don’t Be Dumb World 2026 Tour in support of his latest album of the same name. The tour is set to begin in Chicago on May 27.

Jennie’s latest drop was her “Dracula” remix with Tame Impala. The remix dropped on Feb. 6 with added vocals and rap lines a la Jennie.

Lower down the lineup, Major Lazer played at 2026 Coachella. The DJ group featuring Diplo, DJs Walshy Fire and Ape Drums and vocalist America Foster stirred the pot with their set by bringing out special guest M.I.A.

When Taylor Swift is inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at their annual awards gala in New York City on June 11, she’ll become the first person to graduate from winning the organization’s Hal David Starlight Award (an accolade for a songwriter who shows promise, which Swift won in 2010) to full membership status.

A songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for SHOF induction 20 years after their first commercial release of a song. Swift’s first single, “Tim McGraw,” was released in June 2006, so she just made it.

Eight more recipients of the Hal David Starlight Award are eligible for induction into the SHOF (or will be by the time of the 2027 gala). They include three songwriters who have won Grammy Awards for song of the year – Rob Thomas (Santana’s “Smooth,” a co-write with Itaal Shur, which won in 2000), Alicia Keys (“Fallin’,” which won in 2002) and John Mayer (“Daughters,” which won in 2025).

Four other Hal David Starlight Award recipients who will be eligible for induction by next year have been nominated for the song of the year Grammy, though they have yet to win it – John Legend (“Ordinary People,” Estelle’s “American Boy,” DJ Khaled’s “God Did”), John Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris”), Jason Mraz (“I’m Yours”) and Sara Bareilles (“Love Song”).

Ne-Yo has yet to be nominated for song of the year, but he won a Grammy for best R&B song for “Miss Independent,” which he co-wrote with Stargate. Nick Jonas has yet to be nominated in a songwriting category, though he has received two Grammy nods in other categories as a member of Jonas Brothers.

The voting members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame will choose the 2027 class of inductees later this year. Their choices will probably be announced in January 2027 (the 2026 class was announced on Jan. 21). There’s no assurance they’ll include a former Hal David Starlight Award recipient in their 2027 class. But if they did, who would you suggest they choose?

Chris Brown showed love to his fans for lending an ear and their support to his new album, Brown, which has drawn “mixed reviews” following its May 8 arrival.

Breezy took to his Instagram Story over the weekend with a message for Team Breezy and anyone who’s given the 27-track LP a listen.

“Just wanna say thank you to everyone who listened to this album. Been a lot of mixed reviews and I can take my audience’s criticism and opinions,” he wrote. “The last 3 albums have came under the same scrutiny and it eventually grew on people. Thank you for even taking the time out to listen.”

Brown’s been a polarizing act across his career and remains a lightning rod for conversation in music. Across the 27 tracks, there’s something for just about every fan of Chris Brown.

CB’s 12th studio album enlists YoungBoy Never Broke Again, GloRilla, Vybz Kartel, Leon Thomas, Bryson Tiller, Tank, Fridayy, Sexyy Red and Lucky Daye for assists.

Chris Brown is currently preparing to head out on a North American trek with Usher for the R&B Tour, which starts in Denver on June 26. The blockbuster stadium tour will make stops in Detroit, D.C., Cleveland, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami and more before ending on Dec. 11 with a show in Tampa Bay.

All of Breezy’s albums prior to BROWN have debuted inside the Billboard 200‘s top 10, with his last No. 1 coming with 2019’s Indigo.
