Now in its 14th year and second iteration at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Gov Ball will ring in summer in the city with over 60 bands on 3 stages for 3 days. In its new location and expanded footprint, with Vulture raving, “At Flushing, there was plenty of shade, ample food options, and room to move.” The festival site is less than 30 minutes by train from any of the Five Boroughs with additional ease of access from New Jersey, Upstate New York and Connecticut.  This year’s programming includes some of the city’s best local, gourmet food offerings including the return of Queens Night Market world cuisine vendors, plus a comprehensive beverage lineup paired with immersive fan activations cascading over the lush, immaculate park landscape with structures that serve as a beacon in American’s history of innovation, design, culture and recreation.

“If Governors Ball is back, it must be summer in New York. The annual festival returned to Queens in early June in roomy new digs: Flushing Meadows Corona Park, just down the block from its 2021-22 home at Citi Field. The sprawling, tree-lined grounds were reminiscent of Gov Ball’s years on Randall’s Island, for anyone whose memories go back as far as the 2010s, only nicer and easier to get to by public transit.”- Rolling Stone

“”New York City’s favorite festival highlights the true meaning of unity… With the new location, attendees are treated to a scenic landscape in the middle of one of the city’s most sprawling Boroughs. Now, there’s plenty of space to roam around, get lost in the sponsored exhibits and fresh grass to lie down in while watching the weekend’s hottest acts give it their all in the city that never sleeps.”  – NME 

“Waves of revelers, festooned in rose-colored tutus, elaborately designed fishnets and oversize cowboy hats, filed into the event held this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They thrashed to Odesza and Diplo; bounced to Lizzo and Kendrick Lamar; and swayed to Haim and Omar Apollo across three different stages in the green fields encircling the iconic Unisphere, the 140-foot-tall ball fit for … a ball.” – New York Times
